Journalist warns: Flamengo must avoid key mistake vs Lanús | OneFootball

Lanús (ARG) is in Good Form and Will Have a Packed Stadium

Flamengo takes the field this Thursday (19th) to face Lanús (ARG) in the first match of the Recopa Sudamericana. Before the clash, journalist Lucas Pedrosa issued a warning about the strengths of the Argentine team and the atmosphere at Estadio La Fortaleza.

— If you don’t play with intensity, you’re going to suffer. Regardless of having Paquetá, Pulgar, Arrascaeta, you could even have the Pope. You’re going to suffer. It’s a tough team, that likes to slow the game down, knows how to play with the ball at their feet, and has good ball movement. It’s a team that plays good football. So, if Flamengo comes in with a Carnival mindset, they’re going to suffer, my friend. They’re definitely going to suffer — said Lucas Pedrosa, journalist at CazéTV.

— The stadium doesn’t usually get that many fans, but I think they’ll end up showing up since it’s a final. It’s a little pressure cooker. The team doesn’t have any spectacular players. It’s much more of a collective group, with intensity, and they know how to play this kind of competition. So, Flamengo can’t even think about repeating the performances they had before Carnival — he concluded.

WHAT IS THE SITUATION WITH LANÚS?

Lanús comes into the final after having won the Copa Sudamericana last season, against Atlético-MG. The Argentine club lifted the trophy after beating the Brazilians on penalties, in Asunción, Paraguay.
