Flamengo needs to win to become Recopa Sudamericana champion

Flamengo takes the field this Thursday (26th) to face Lanús (ARG), at Maracanã, for the second leg of the Recopa Sudamericana. Despite having the advantage, Rodrigo Castillo, the top scorer of the Argentine club, promised a bold strategy in Rio de Janeiro.

— In Brazil, the decision will be up to the coaching staff on how we will position ourselves, but obviously, we know that sitting back will not be the best option, because they have quality and will put us under pressure with their team. So, I think we will play a game very similar (to the first leg) — started Rodrigo Castillo.

— You have to be smart, not to just sit back, but to understand that they will be in a hurry: they will have to come out and attack. I suppose they will play with a center forward, but we know that here they tried to look for another alternative. We are very united, recovering, and in good condition. We will plan the match with the coaching staff. We always create chances, whether we play well or not — he concluded, in an interview with ESPN Argentina.
