Viña reveals behind the scenes at Flamengo: "It's tough right now..." | OneFootball

What did Viña, Flamengo's left-back, say?

Matías Viña is one of the options that Filipe Luís has for the left-back position at Flamengo. While serving the Uruguayan National Team, the athlete made sure to praise Alex Sandro and Ayrton Lucas and also expressed his happiness about getting playing time with the ‘Celeste’.

— I am very happy to have the opportunity to get minutes here (Uruguayan National Team), because at Flamengo it is very difficult. Flamengo has a very strong squad, many good players, which reduces the possibility of playing –, he said, before concluding:

— There is Alex Sandro, there is Ayrton Lucas, who is playing very well. The competition for minutes is tough, but I am happy to be in the national team –, emphasized Viña in an interview with the ‘Paparazzo Rubro-Negro’ portal.

WHAT IS VIÑA'S SITUATION AT FLAMENGO?

Viña is looking for a spot in the Flamengo team. Currently, Alex Sandro is the starting left-back, while Ayrton Lucas is the immediate substitute. Thus, in some matches, the Uruguayan is not even listed.

It is important to note that Viña was having a run in the Flamengo team last season, but ended up suffering a serious injury that kept him off the field for a long period. As a result, the athlete lost his place.
