Leonardo Jardim assistant reveals why Flamengo keep changing line-up | OneFootball

Flamengo had a penalty not awarded against Estudiantes (ARG), which infuriated Jardim

Like Filipe Luís, Flamengo’s current coach is in the habit of changing the team lineup from match to match. According to José Barros, the coach’s assistant, every opponent is unique and, therefore, different contexts call for different players.

— You have already analyzed and know our way of working. We think game by game. We analyzed the opponent, the competition, the venue... we believed this was the ideal team to take the field. I think they gave a good response. It is very satisfying to have a squad that can respond in different contexts -, Barros said at a press conference.

Why wasn’t Leonardo Jardim at the press conference?

The Rubro-Negro manager was shown a red card for entering the field at Estádio UNO, where his team was facing Estudiantes (ARG). On that occasion, the coach complained about a penalty not awarded for a foul on Emerson Royal.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

So, with a new lineup, Flamengo face Vasco this Sunday (03). The match kicks off at 4:00 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in the 14th round of the Brazilian Championship.

As is tradition, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Vasco through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air), GE TV (YouTube), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the clássico.
