Striker urges Flamengo to attack against Juventude in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Which forward requested an aggressive team in the match between Flamengo and Juventude?

Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (14) to face Juventude in the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. Before the match, forward Gilberto has asked the team from Rio Grande do Sul to assert themselves while playing at home, and thus, he wants an aggressive team, seeking the game against Mengão.

— We have to be aggressive, we are playing at home. Flamengo's football today is flashy and very aggressive, so one of the ways to perhaps nullify their characteristics is by being aggressive as well, not letting them play -, said Gilberto in a press conference.

It's important to note that Flamengo will be looking to end an uncomfortable winless streak in Caxias do Sul. This is because, for 27 years, the Rubro-Negro hasn't known what it's like to beat Juventude at Alfredo Jaconi.
