Jardim on Flamengo changes: “We’re working step by step” | OneFootball

Flamengo remains unbeaten with Leonardo Jardim in charge

The Flamengo defeated Remo 3-0 last Thursday (19th) at Maracanã, in the Brazilian Championship. After the match, Leonardo Jardim commented on the tactical changes he has made to the red-black team since his arrival.

— Playing through the middle is a strategy we have been gradually working on. Before, they played more openly, and now I want to associate more through the middle to fill the area more during defining moments. We are concerned with all the wingers filling the area —, began Leonardo Jardim.

— The more players we have in the area, the more options we have for the ball to fall at our feet. That's why we encourage them to enter the area, and Lino has noticed this. Against Remo, Luiz Araújo also noticed this. He scored because he was inside the area. If he had been on the line, he wouldn't have scored —, he concluded.

WHAT IS THE CONTEXT OF THE SITUATION?

Leonardo Jardim joined Flamengo this March to replace Filipe Luís, who had a different methodology. Since then, the Portuguese coach remains unbeaten with the red-black team, with three wins and one draw.
