Flamengo have a problem with their defensive setup. They leak goals. The reason is simple. The backline is full of players who are average to below average in recovery speed and they all are lacking in defensive cognition at this time, for various reasons. so, Flamengo have to outscore opponents. But
based on a statistical assessment shared to me by Paulo Frietas linked below. It is clear that while Gabriel Barbossa scores goals in greater quantity. MArinho score goals in more dire situations. With that said it is clear that the Flamengo coach must play Marinho while also the deadly duo of Gabriel Barbossa and Bruno Henrique. The three in the back have to be played.
The point is, when a team doesn’t do something well , either figure out how to do it well and reduce other things, or do other things better. Flamengo are missing more goals, so play a more forward setup. The problem then is a matter of ball retention. Playing a set of offensive players isn’t a problem if the players take care of the ball at a better rate.
