Jardim: Dressing room demands spark Flamengo’s attitude shift vs Remo | OneFootball

Flamengo Defeated Remo Easily at Maracanã

The Flamengo defeated Remo last Thursday (19th) by 3-0 at Maracanã, in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship. After the match, coach Leonardo Jardim revealed that he made demands on the players in the locker room and that the conversation resulted in a change of attitude.

— Against Remo, we had sterile ball possession many times. We exchanged many passes, but we weren't aggressive enough to penetrate the opponent's block. This allowed some transitions from Remo — stated Leonardo Jardim in a press conference.

— I mentioned this to the players during the break. They are very intelligent and came into the second half, and we resolved the game in 15 minutes. After the 3-0, strategically, we rotated some players and had more possession to manage the game — concluded the Flamengo coach.

HOW WAS FLAMENGO'S MATCH?

The Flamengo opened the scoring in the first half with Léo Ortiz, after a corner kick by Arrascaeta. However, the red-black team had 64% ball possession but fewer shots than Remo in the first 45 minutes.

Nevertheless, after the break, Flamengo changed its attitude and quickly resolved the match against Remo. This is because the team led by Leonardo Jardim made it 3-0 by the ninth minute of the second half, with goals from Samuel Lino and Luiz Araújo.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Now, Flamengo leaves Remo behind and remains focused on the Brazilian Championship. The red-black team faces Corinthians next Sunday (22nd) at 8:30 PM (Brasília time) at Neo Química Arena, for the eighth round.
