"Prepared", Correa wants a tactically disciplined team
Steering wheel says the team must strictly fulfill its assigned duties to avoid unnecessary exposure
By From the official website team - inSoccer coaches often say that more important than the players on the field in a match is how they're arranged on the pitch. And, of course, the roles each player will play. That's also the opinion of experienced Flamengo midfielder Correa, who returns to Flamengo's starting lineup this Wednesday (November 03.11).
Due to coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo's more attacking lineup, with three forwards, the player believes the team needs to be even more careful with tactical discipline. According to him, the team can't afford to give Ceará space to play at Castelão.
"We can't be exposed, because they have offensive players. Each player knows their role. Vanderlei gives us the freedom to attack, especially Renato, who comes forward more. When one goes, the other stays. It's important for everyone to be aware of the tactical layout, to keep the team organized and compact," said the number 7, who trusts in the quality of Diogo, Diego Maurício, and Deivid.
"They're players who attack well, build midfield, and know how to get out and play, especially Diogo. We have to support them, mark them well, and give them the freedom to play," he noted.
Aware of the great responsibility of representing Flamengo in such an important game, Correa says he is ready for this new mission.
"Wearing the Flamengo jersey is already a responsibility. I've had a good run of games, I was out against Vasco, I came on against Corinthians. I have to be prepared. It's a tough, important game, and I'll try to give my best to help Flamengo," he concluded.
Flamengo and Ceará face off this Wednesday at 22 p.m. Ceará and Flamengo are very close in the standings, and this Wednesday's matchup is crucial for both teams. Flamengo has 43 points and is in 11th place. Flamengo has 39 and is in 13th place. Both teams are aiming to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana.
