Ortiz gains confidence of the coach
The number 3 arrived at Mengão to play as a center-back, but with Tite having problems in midfield, he was used as a midfielder and was approved in that role. Pulgar also declined in production.
In the full-backs, Wesley will play on the right and Alex Sandro on the left. In the attack, after the injury of Luiz Araújo, the Ecuadorian Gonzalo Plata will play on the left and Bruno Henrique remains in the center-forward role.
The probable lineup for Flamengo vs Peñarol is as follows: Rossi; Wesley, Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Léo Ortiz, De La Cruz, Arrascaeta and Gerson; Bruno Henrique and Gonzalo Plata.
News about Gabigol heats up behind the scenes
Flamengo news suggests that Tite demands more commitment from Gabigol in daily practices and the player does not fit into his style of play. The number 99, in fact, trained separately from the squad with pain and became a doubt against Peñarol.
