Galvão Bueno and Luxemburgo heap praise on two Flamengo regulars | OneFootball

Flamengo defeated Palmeiras on the eve of playing the Libertadores semifinal against Racing (ARG)

After defeating Palmeiras and on the eve of a decisive match with Racing (ARG), the Flamengo squad sparked debate on various sports programs. Galvão Bueno and friends, for example, tipped their hats to Filipe Luís's team, who scored a beautiful goal on Sunday (19).

— It was the best game Pedro played after the surgery, by far. He scored the first goal, earned the penalty for the second, and passed the ball to Arrascaeta. He came to get it, he fought, he dribbled. He played an impressive match. One of the best I've seen Pedro play -, stated the commentator during a program on Band.

Who else received praise?

Former coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo contributed to the praise for Pedro, as he was more clever than Bruno Fuchs, Palmeiras' defender. This is because the forward turned around the defender with great ease.

— Flamengo has a goalkeeper (Rossi) who puts the ball wherever he wants, his pass. It's impressive. There are only three goalkeepers who do this in Brazil. Besides Rossi, only the ones from Atlético Mineiro and Palmeiras -, added Luxemburgo.

What is the play in question?

The game was still 0-0 when Rossi used his feet to find Pedro, who controlled the ball while protecting and turning around Fuchs. The forward passed to Arrascaeta, who scored as Carlos Miguel came out.

When do Flamengo and Racing face each other?

With Pedro and Rossi available, Flamengo faces Racing (ARG) this Wednesday (22). The match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã, for the first leg of the Libertadores semifinal.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide the best internet coverage through YouTube, the website, and social media. Thus, Globo (open channel) and GE TV (YouTube) will broadcast Flamengo vs. Racing.
