Pulgar, Jorginho or Saúl? Filipe Luís on Flamengo starting role: "I want…" | OneFootball

What is the ideal midfield for Filipe Luís at Flamengo?

Filipe Luís has several options for Flamengo’s midfield. Erick Pulgar, in fact, has already returned from injury and is also available. Thus, the coach opened up about the starting lineup for the red-and-black team.

— Jorginho is exceptional, very, very complete, extremely high level, but it’s not just him. Erick as well, Saúl too, and Nico as well. And in my view, Allan and Evertton Araújo have their own characteristics that contribute a lot to the team, he said, before concluding:

— So what I want is to have everyone available. Saúl made a huge effort to be here for today’s match. He’s dealing with an issue that’s really bothering him, but mentally, he’s one of the strongest I’ve ever seen in my life, he said.

Is Saúl available for Flamengo?

Yes! Saúl has recovered from his ankle pain and has already returned to the field for Flamengo. The midfielder even came on against Palmeiras, at Maracanã, replacing Erick Pulgar.
