Upon arriving at Flamengo, coach Muricy Ramalho stated that the team's new playing style would be offensive. This prediction proved true from the moment the ball started rolling, with an important addition: the balance of the formation. Even with the constant search for goals, Flamengo maintains an enviable defensive record. as FlaTV highlighted last week.
Without suffering defensively, the team's game plan prioritizes the midfielders' build-up play, the full-backs' support, and the constant movement of the forwards. It's common to see Willian Arão actively participating in the attack during matches, as a surprise element. The result is reflected in the numbers: four goals scored by the number 5, the team's second-highest scorer this season. Furthermore, the rotation of movement among the forwards and the maintenance of the playing style even with substitutions have given Flamengo an offensive consistency proven by the "rotation of goalscorers." So far, nine players have scored goals in 2016, six of them attacking midfielders or forwards (Guerrero, Emerson, Cirino, Gabriel, Felipe Vizeu, and Éverton).
In absolute numbers, Flamengo has the best goal-scoring rate among the 20 teams that will compete in Série A in 2016. Adding up the games from all ongoing competitions (state championships, regional championships, and Copa Libertadores), the team managed by Muricy Ramalho is the only one to reach the mark of 19 goals. The team's top scorer, Guerrero, highlights the constant search for goals as a key factor in their performance.
"Our team this year is constantly looking for goals. We have very high-quality and fast players, which results in very intense matches and many shots on goal. I'm happy to be able to help the team achieve these positive milestones and I hope that, in the end, these numbers will result in titles," he emphasized.
