– It adds its technical quality to the team, which has great advantages, when the team can create a context appropriate for its type of game. The final, for example, was a team that was able to hold the ball more, get closer to play, exchange more short passes, and with players closer, had more options to distribute the game without having to travel long distances, without being a team that She put herself in the back to play on the counterattack, forcing the athletes to run long distances.
– It is no coincidence that he put on another great performance against Vasco in the country classification stage. He was half a reserve team, but the characteristic of this team was to group players into a shorter space and get closer, exchange passes, and then you have the perfect context for him, a player of great technical quality, with very good passes. , a lot of creativity … having options close to him for distributing plays, it’s easier.

The commentator also highlights that the midfielder’s tendency is not to shine in every game, but in some. For Mansour, the style of play he played Fluminense The ones who were playing earlier, with a greater need for attack speed, wouldn’t be suitable for swanso he should act in the best context to do his best.
– In the form that played the final, the team was more protective at the back, although he intervened early, but that’s not something you expect him to do all the time. The team needs to be a little more balanced for him. In a team like this for a good part of the beginning of the year, he was defending back, trying to attack quickly, and the players had to run and attack in a very large area of the field, for him it just wasn’t good anymore. He will take away a lot of his characteristics, because he is a player with great technical quality, but he is not very dynamic without the ball.
