Marcos Braz advises Flamengo on how to solve Plata issue | OneFootball

What did Marcos Braz say about Gonzalo Plata, Flamengo forward?

Gonzalo Plata is going through a period of uncertainty regarding his future at Flamengo. Responsible for signing the forward in 2024, Marcos Braz, the club’s former vice president of football, made a point of praising the player and suggested a possible solution for the club regarding the situation.

— He goes to a final and scores a hugely important goal in the Copa do Brasil. But that’s the thing: if Flamengo understands that there are external factors that cannot be controlled or remedied, then Flamengo has to wait until the World Cup and go into the market to sort out what needs fixing. Now, to say that he has no technical or tactical quality, that he’s just a street footballer… I think that’s very unfair -, Braz said in an interview with the ‘Paparazzo Rubro-Negro’ channel.

WHAT HAPPENED TO PLATA AT FLAMENGO?

Plata was one of the ‘favorite’ players in Filipe Luís’ tactical setup. However, as soon as the coach left Flamengo, the Ecuadorian has not yet managed to get consistent playing time under Leonardo Jardim.

In the new Flamengo coach’s initial assessment, Plata did not respond well to some tactical demands and, on top of that, needs a bit more concentration to perform well for Fla. In the match against Corinthians, in fact, the Ecuadorian was left out of the squad by technical decision.

IS PLATA ON HIS WAY OUT OF FLAMENGO?

Amid this situation, there is still expectation over whether Plata will remain available to Flamengo for the rest of the season. For now, the trend is that the forward will be included on Flamengo’s list of players available for transfer in the next transfer window.

While going through this ‘imbroglio’ at Flamengo, Plata is available to Ecuador for the friendlies during this March FIFA international break. After that, the forward will return to Rubro-Negro to try to win back his place in Leonardo Jardim’s team.
