Brasileiro Serie A - Flamengo RJ v Sport Recife PE
Flamengo comes from a victory against the last position Ipatinga and the fans did not like the exhibition, which was also low in the previous week in front of the Sao Paulo Morumbi. There is a climate of tension in the working group of Flamengo, and I believe that with the Maracana composed of public if the goal take a little time to leave, the Flamengo could be complicated front of a highly organized opponent as the Sport.
But this pick has two facts that I consider very important for the development of the game: the poor performance of the Flamengo attack against the solid defense of Sport.
If we analyze the attack of Flamengo, we see that in the last 10 rounds scored 14 goals. For a team that fight for the title and when I see that in these 10 games also suffered 14, I feel that is poor. The changes in the offensive sector of the team has been steady, and I think that there isn't sufficient dialogue when facing defenses of quality. Marcelinho has shown a good football, in a individual play can unbalance, and Juan, Ibson or Kleberson, but I do not see how Flemengo can score for more than 2 goals in Sport.
And if we look at the Sport we see that... they don't suffered any goal since 444 minutes ago, nearly 5 games. The team headed by Nelsinho Baptista did not lose for 6 games, and last game away from home went to the Palestra Italia win by 3x0, a game in which the truth is that the Palmeiras was unrecognizable, which favored a result rather dilated.
The coach Caio Jr. already has indicated that it will not exerting upward pressure of Sport since the beginning of the game. By his words and knowing the style of play of Sport, Flamengo hope a cautious, and worried about the counter-attacks of Sport, which is the strength of the team:
- Actually the attack is the situation more difficult. I have to try to give tranquility. The team of Mr. Adílio (juniors team of Flamengo) was very difficult. I asked them to play back, leaving the counter-attack because the Sport is a team which defends very well, but it also has a good attack. Proof of this was the victory of them by 3 to 0 against Palmeiras. (Source: Lancenet) - looked after the technical training against the junior team.
The Sport has been to Maracana this season, and drawed in 1x1 with Fluminense.
The forecast is that the rain that fell at Friday in Rio de Janeiro remain to Saturday until the time of the game, what should it be true may become in an important detail for the under.
The Sport has the second best defense of the championship, just behind the leader Gremio. For this game I hope so difficult for the Flamengo, and expect a game with few goals.
