Filipe Luís chooses to give minutes to new players, even with little pace of game
Had news on Sunday (3), in Castelão, for the 18th round of Brasileirão. Newly bugs and newcomers against Atletico-MG last Thursday (31), Emerson Royal and Samuel Lino began as holders against Vozão and “pierced the line” in the red-black cast; Saúl ñíguez was the first option from the bank.
➡️
Samu not only was chosen to start the game in Fortaleza, but played for 90 minutes, even though he returned on vacation for only five days, when he performed to Fla. With Everton Cebolinha and injured Michael, Filipe Luís deposited confidence in the most expensive hiring in the club’s history; Lino arrived for 22 million euros (R $ 143 million), paid from Flamengo to Atletico de Madird.
Highlight against Rooster, shirt 16 did not drew so much attention to Ceará, but had solid performance. Participatory, had 64 actions with the ball, hit 31 of 42 passes (only 74%), finished twice and completed all four dodges attempted. Defensively, it was important in recomposition and won nine from 13 duels.
Emerson Royal, in turn, stayed on the field until 40 minutes of the second half, when he gave way to the varela. Prior to the second half debut of the defeat to Atletico-MG, shirt 22 has not entered the field since January, still in Milan. Even so, Filipe Luís chose to climb him as a starter and only replaced him in the final moments of the match in Castelão.
The right-back was better offensive than defensively. He made a good move on the bottom line in the first chance of Flamengo, completed 24 of 31 passes (77%), but won only one of the three of the five defensive duels he faced. In the second half, he was visibly worn out.

Finally, Saul followed as an option in the reserve bench, but entered the field just around the break, replacing Arrascaeta, who suffered muscle problem. Discreet, the Spaniard hit 23 of the 24 passes he tried and even risked a bike in the final minutes, but still needs to gain pace.
Flamengo returns to the field next Wednesday (6) and visits Atletico-MG for the return game of the round of 16 of the Brazilian Cup; On the way out, Rooster Victory 1-0. Last reinforcement announced by Red Black, Jorge Carrascal will not have his debut with the sacred cloak, as it has not come to be inscribed in the competition.
