By From the team at Flamengo's official website - in
Flamengo's farewell at Maracanã before the stadium closed for renovations ahead of the 2014 World Cup didn't go as planned. In the debut of the "D2" attack, formed by Deivid and Diogo, the team from Gávea pressed, played well, had chances, but couldn't break the 05.09-XNUMX draw in the duel with Santos, this Sunday (XNUMX).
With the result, Flamengo, who will play in another 'home' from now on, arrives at its fifth consecutive game without a win and has 22 points. The next duel of the red-black team is against São Paulo, on Wednesday (08.09), at Morumbi. The Santos team rises to 31 points and closes the gap to the leader Fluminense, who lost to Guarani and stopped at 38 points.
Red-black pressure
Coach Silas's team entered the field with a new addition: Toró replaced Petkovic in midfield, alongside Correa, Willians, and Renato. The change seemed to have given the team new energy, which began the match spurred on by the fans, who turned out in strong numbers at Maracanã, putting pressure on the opponent. With Deivid and Diogo full of energy up front, Flamengo was vastly superior: they had nine shots on goal to Santos's one.
The first good chance came in the fifth minute, with Juan, who shot wide with his right foot. In the 19th minute, Leonardo Moura made a beautiful run down the right and crossed for the striker, who, even though alone, also shot wide. Santos, on the other hand, had more possession but posed little threat. On his debut, the former Fenerbahçe player made a point of being involved and threatened again with a shot in the 29th minute. A minute later, Willians made a beautiful play and Diogo almost opened the scoring, but the game went into halftime tied.
The team tries, but the goal doesn't come.
In the second half, Dorival Junior opted to give Santos more pace, bringing on Madson for Keirrison. But Flamengo continued to dominate the game. While the short Santos player was a bit intimidating on the counterattack, Flamengo continued to outperform. Coach Silas brought on the experienced Petkovic, who was trying to improve the team's coordination.
On the first play, he stole the ball in midfield and fired a weak left-footed shot that Rafael saved. But that was it. From then on, the Gávea team launched into a fierce attack, with the support of the fans, and in the end, a penalty was even awarded against Diogo, but again they couldn't find the net, and the Maracanã ended in a 0-0 draw.
