Jorge Sampaoli and Fernando Lázaro have different styles and chances – 04/16/2023 – PVC

Jorge Sampaoli wanted to be Flamengo’s coach so much that he studied and confided to friends what he thinks about the future of Flamengo. He doesn’t want reinforcements now, because he will train the best squad in Brazil. But he understands that it will be necessary to rejuvenate the group during this year and next season.

Jorge Desio, one of his assistants, who left and asked not to come to Rio de Janeiro to stay in Argentina, close to his teenage son, always detailed the way of playing of the brilliant and genius coach who recently arrived in Gávea.

He says he plays with three players or just two plus the goalkeeper, depending on how the opponent scores the ball. If the rival only has one attacker in the fight, goalkeeper Santos will play the role of third pass man. “Always with five in attack”, explained Desio, while at Atlético.

There is a chance to use Gérson giving breadth on the left, as he did at Olympique de Marseille with the current Flamengo midfielder.

His practice is to have the ball and attack in a 3-2-5 or 2-3-5, as Guardiola does, at Manchester City, or Abel Ferreira, at Palmeiras.

The Brazilian is now a multifaceted championship, with coaches with different styles and strategies. Tactical design is one of the variants, the way to score is another.

Sampaoli will insist that Flamengo make sweeps to recover the ball close to the area, in their attack, as no other player does in Brazil. Not even Jorge Jesus, who confesses, from Turkey, wanting to return here.

There are ten foreign coaches, different philosophies, despite being only three nationalities: ten Brazilians, seven Portuguese, three Argentines. The English Premier League has coaches of eight nationalities, Spain has seven.

Sampaoli only won national tournaments in Chile. He knows that Flamengo will give him that possibility much more than Santos and Atlético-MG, in Brazil, Olympique de Marseille, in France, and Sevilla, in Spain, offered him.

He thinks so because he knows the cast. If you only look at the sequence of six coaches dismissed, four of them through payments that cost BRL 37 million in fines, Flamengo would not represent an opportunity, but a risk.

As it was for Vítor Pereira, who only accepted Gávea because he didn’t want to go through the criticisms leveled today at Fernando Lázaro. Renato Augusto’s injury allowed Roger Guedes to be closer to Yuri Alberto, with Giuliano closing down the left aisle to create and score.

Giuliano was substituted, injured, in the 39th minute of his debut against Cruzeiro. The result is the early rejuvenation of Corinthians. Injuries force Barletta, Matheus Araújo to climb. This still doesn’t add up to game quality. Corinthians is hostage to its veterans, hired many times to satisfy the fans. Impossible to score due to pressure in attack with Fágner, Gil, Balbuena and Fábio Santos in defense.

Not even with Bruno Méndez and Matheus Bidu, as happened in this first round of the Brazilian.

It’s not enough to hire technicians and ask them to be offensive. It is necessary to assemble the cast according to the style you intend to adopt. Sampaoli chose Flamengo because he believes he can impose his game with the players he will have at his disposal.

THE NEW LOPEZ

It’s fair to demand that Abel Ferreira behave differently on the bench, to avoid expulsions. Just as it is fair to demand that López listen to the coach’s advice. Abel told him that evolution in Brazil depended on physical condition and asked him to gain seven kilos of mass. He has already won five. He scored four goals in four games.

FIREPROOF

Rogério Ceni has his behavior monitored at the Barra Funda training center. The issue is not the quality of your workouts. They are good, everyone recognizes. It’s how you react to defeat. His challenge is to motivate the squad, not bring down the troop’s spirits. São Paulo has a squad to play better than it is playing.
