Flamengo boss on Viña’s absence vs Mirassol in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Matías Viña has received few opportunities at Flamengo

Matías Viña has been one of the main names discussed by the fans in recent weeks. This is because the full-back has not been receiving opportunities with Filipe Luís. After the 3-3 draw between Flamengo and Mirassol this Saturday (06), coach Bruno Pivetti was questioned about the situation of the Uruguayan.

— Regarding him, all the professional players who were with us today were defined by the professional football department. We had no influence on the choice of players, we only received the list of those who were at our disposal -, he said, before concluding:

— They came to train with us yesterday morning and managed to do a great job, they represented the club very well. We know it's not easy because they are players who haven't been getting many minutes, they were out of match rhythm -, concluded Bruno Pivetti.

What is Viña's situation at Flamengo?

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

It is important to note that Viña was having a sequence at Flamengo last season, but ended up suffering a serious injury that kept him off the field for a long period. As a result, the left-back lost his place in Filipe Luís's team.

Is Viña going to the Club Intercontinental?

It is worth highlighting that Flamengo released the list of players for the Club Intercontinental this Saturday (06). Thus, coach Filipe Luís did not call up the full-back for the Rubro-Negro games in Qatar.

What is Flamengo's next match?

Without Matías Viña, Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (10) to face Cruz Azul (MEX). Moreover, the match takes place at 2 PM (Brasília time), in Qatar, for the first game of the Rubro-Negro in the Club Intercontinental.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open channel), GE TV (YouTube) and Cazé TV (YouTube) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Cruz Azul game.
