Despite taking a 2-0 lead, Flamengo ended up drawing with Vasco this Sunday (03) at the Maracanã in the Brazilian Championship. Leonardo Jardim therefore pointed out the problem that kept the Most Beloved from taking all three points in the round.
“The problem wasn’t the full-backs, but the wingers, who weren’t aggressive enough,” he said in a press conference after Flamengo’s 2-2 draw with Vasco at the Maracanã.
At the end of the match, Flamengo had Bruno Henrique and Plata as wingers. However, the Ecuadorian moved to center forward in the final minutes due to muscle pain. As a result, Wallace Yan was tasked with helping defensively on the flanks.
With the result, Flamengo remained in second place in the Brazilian Championship with 27 points. Palmeiras, meanwhile, remain at the top of the Brasileirão with 33. However, the Rubro-Negro have one game in hand in the national tournament.
Flamengo return to the pitch this Thursday (07) against Independiente Medellín (COL) in the fourth round of the Libertadores group stage. The match is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. Brasília time in Colombia, with live coverage on ESPN on pay TV and on Disney+ via streaming.
