Coach Jorge Sampaoli saw Flamengo’s draw against Palmeiras this Saturday (8) relatively positively. The Argentine acknowledged that his team had a bad first half, but managed to fight back in the second half. And this he didn’t win because he didn’t take advantage of the scoring chances he had. Furthermore, the coach also underlined that there was a lack of consistency in the moment of conclusions.
“The team played a lot of games in a short time. We had to play two games in a row on synthetic turf. We had many players who felt a lot after the match against Atletico, so they weren’t able to play the 90 minutes “But the team did a good job in the second half and could have won. I think Flamengo looked for him, but they missed a touch in the last third to win the match,” Sampaoli said.
The coach also explained the formation that took to the field and the changes made after the break. Initially the coach launched a team in 4-3-3, but returned to using the 4-4-2, with the additions of Everton Ribeiro and De Arrascaeta. Since then, in fact, the team has improved and managed to reach a draw.
“We think we have two wingers fixed outside the box. It’s a difficult pitch, so we thought that in one-on-one situations this lateral movement would provide a solution. But it didn’t happen because we didn’t have the ability to play and we didn’t find the spaces well .In the second half, when we got back to the starting idea, we were already a team that overtook the opponent, that has speed on the counterattack.So, we have to work to play with the wingers in line, if we have full-backs playing inside we can score points even like this “, he concluded.
