Flamengo faces PSG (FRA) this Wednesday (17), in the grand final of the Club World Cup. For Luiz Araújo, the red-and-black striker, the team will need to double its defensive attention against their opponent, but under Filipe Luís' command, they do not intend to change their style of play.
— I think Botafogo's match against Paris Saint-Germain was a different competition, totally different. That was a group stage game, now it will be a final. It's a very studied game, a very tight game, we know that. I think that, as Filipe (Luís) always played, we are not going to change our way of playing, he said before continuing:
— Of course we know we have to be a bit more attentive, because on the other side are the best players in the world. So we are going to play the same way we always do, but with a bit more intelligence in defense, we can't make mistakes. And I'm sure we'll play a great game and, God willing, come out with this victory, which is the dream of the whole Nation, he concluded.
Flamengo and PSG have similar characteristics in their style of play. Both prioritize ball possession and seek to dominate the game offensively. The two teams have skillful players on the wings, who are responsible for breaking through opposing lines and creating goal opportunities. Additionally, both try to press the opponent after losing possession.
However, their tactical approaches are different. Flamengo stands out for its collective organization, with passing exchanges and coordinated movement. PSG, on the other hand, has a style more focused on the speed of transitions and the creativity of individual players.
Flamengo faces PSG in the final of the Club World Cup, this Wednesday (17), with the two-time championship at stake for Mengão. Thus, the match takes place at 2pm (Brasília time), at Al Rayyan Stadium, in Doha, Qatar.
As usual, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match on YouTube, their website, and social media. In addition, the game will be broadcast on Globo (free-to-air channel), GE TV (YouTube) and Cazé TV (YouTube).
