Leonardo Jardim takes curious approach to line-ups for Flamengo games | OneFootball

What move by Leonardo Jardim caught Flamengo fans’ attention?

Leonardo Jardim has already led Flamengo in 14 matches this season. So far, the Portuguese coach has taken a curious approach to his lineups: rotating at right back.

That is because Varela and Emerson Royal have not started two straight games even once under Leonardo Jardim at Flamengo. In other words, each player has played seven matches so far under the Portuguese manager.

Who started against Estudiantes?

In Flamengo’s most recent match of the season, against Estudiantes (ARG) in the Libertadores, Leonardo Jardim started Emerson Royal. In the previous clash, against Atlético-MG in the Brasileirão, Varela played in that position.

Who will start against Vasco?

Leonardo Jardim will now have two days of training before Flamengo’s match against Vasco to decide who will start in the position. If he keeps the rotation going, the tendency is for Varela to be among the starting 11 in the Rio derby.

When is the Flamengo vs Vasco match?

Flamengo’s match against Vasco is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. (Brasília time) this Sunday (03), at the Maracanã, in the 14th round of the Brazilian Championship. Therefore, Rede Globo will broadcast the match on free-to-air TV, in addition to Premiere on pay-per-view.
