With experienced players like David Luiz (ex head office of Chelsea), Filipe Luis (ex side of the Atleti), Arturo Vidal (ex mediocentro of the Barça), Diego Rivas (ex mediocentro 'colchonero') and Diego Alves (ex goalkeeper of Valencia), the Flamengo possesses one of the most powerful staff of the Brasileirao and already complicated to the Liverpool in the edition of 2019.
