Journalist: Key for Flamengo to outsmart Crespo’s São Paulo | OneFootball

Flamengo needs three points to sleep at the top of the Brasileirão

Flamengo takes the field this Wednesday (05) to face São Paulo in the Brazilian Championship. Before the match at Vila Belmiro, journalist Carlos Eduardo Mansur gave tips for the Red and Black to overcome coach Hernán Crespo's tactical system.

— A great duel in this game will be something that Crespo, upon his return to São Paulo, brings back: a characteristic of his style of play, which is man-to-man marking. Throughout the championship, Flamengo has alternated between moments when they managed this type of marking very well and others when they struggled — began Carlos Eduardo Mansur.

— It will depend a lot on the performance of the center-backs, the defenders, and the two defensive midfielders for Flamengo to make the game flow. And also on how São Paulo will manage not to let themselves get disorganized by Flamengo in the manipulation of this man-to-man marking — concluded the journalist, during the SporTV program this Wednesday (05).

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S SITUATION?
