“We are not the Flamengo we want to be”: keys to a new failure
“We are not the Flamengo we want to be. We all have to improve,” said the red-black number 10, Giorgian de Arrascaeta, while trying to digest the disappointment of losing the Copa Sudamericana on Thursday at the Maracanã stadium against the modest Argentine team Lanús.
TL;DR
- Flamengo lost the Recopa Sudamericana to Lanús after previously losing the Supercopa do Brasil to Corinthians.
- The team dominated possession in both legs of the Recopa but failed to convert it into goals, ultimately losing 3-2 in extra time.
- Flamengo's attack is lacking a clear goal-scoring striker, with options like Pedro and Bruno Henrique underperforming.
- Defensive errors, such as a miscommunication between Ayrton Lucas and the goalkeeper, led to crucial goals conceded.
- Players like De Arrascaeta and Danilo have expressed self-criticism and the need for the team to work harder and regain their previous form.
