Gonzalo Plotycia, journalist from La Plata, spoke exclusively with Coluna do Fla

There’s not much time left before Flamengo and Estudiantes (ARG) face off in the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores da América. The first meeting between the teams takes place next Thursday (18), at Maracanã. But the Flamengo fan wants to know: how does the team from La Plata play? Coluna do Fla spoke with journalist Gonzalo Plotycia, who covers the daily life of the Argentine team, to learn more about the Rubro-Negro’s rival.

— It’s a team that strengthens itself with ball possession, basically plays around possession, it’s not a team that speculates, that’s not in the DNA of coach (Eduardo) Domínguez. Usually, the formation is a 4-3-3, some of the wingers can drop back and make it a 4-3-1-2. They usually play with a back four, have played with a back five, but mainly use a back four in defense — the journalist began.

— Midfielders with good feet, who break free and go on the attack, who invade the box, with finishing ability, wingers who are fast and sharp down the flanks. Generally, they play with a reference center forward, although he likes them to get involved in the play. These are the main characteristics of Domínguez’s teams — Gonzalo added, exclusively to Coluna do Fla.
