São Paulo faces Flamengo, in the first round of the Brazilian Championship, at Morumbis, this Wednesday (28/1). Lucas Moura was listed for the match by coach Hernán Crespo, but started the match on the bench.
Why is Lucas Moura on the bench in São Paulo x Flamengo?
The player was preserved from the classic against Palmeiras, on Saturday, in the Campeonato Paulista, because of the synthetic pitch at Arena Barueri, and everything indicated that the number 7 would be a starter in the match against Flamengo.
As he did not play in the last game, Crespo’s strategy should be to use the athlete throughout the match.
In 2026, Lucas played in four matches for Paulista. The athlete’s last game was on January 21st, in the 3-2 defeat to Portuguesa. In 2025, there were 25 games, five goals and one assist.
