Analysis: Far from ideal, Flamengo can play safely in a scheme similar to that of Sampaoli
Flamengo beat Coritiba 3-0 in the first round of the Brazilian Championship, at Maracanã. The duel brought a more confident Clube da Gávea team, but it was still not good. The scheme is, of course, very similar to Jorge Sampaoli's. The Argentine coach based at Maracanã must have been pleased with the result, which put Flamengo ahead. However, he realized that there were still some problems with the team, especially with regard to the athletes' confidence.
