Tactical scheme
The tactical scheme used as a base is 4-2-3-1, with two midfielders. In the line of three, two wingers and a central midfielder. Figueiredo has already been used centrally and open on the left. The same happened with Frizzo, who played on the left most of the time, but also stood out when he was centralized. Fabrício Daniel is another versatile player: he played centrally most of the time, but he was also open on the right.
