Claudio Maldonado/Gonzalo Fierro, CR Flamengo (R) (News, etc...)

[MetroChile]

Para tener un poco mas de orden, creo que la mejor opcion seria tener un tema uniforme acerca de estos 2 chilenos jugando en el Fla actualmente. En caso de que uno se vaya, se cerraria este tema y se continuaria con el tema antiguo individual por cada jugador.

Take it away, Mengao86! :D

Fierro y Maldonado fueron titulares en goleada del Flamengo.

Maldonado jugó todo el partido y Fierro fue sustituido en el segundo tiempo, cuando Flamengo ya tenía asegurada la victoria por 3-0 ante el Curitiba...

Maldonado ha jugado bien? donde esta el hincha de Flamengo!?:D

Maldonado has been solid in all games. I believe he is starting to regain fitness and form with each game. If he keeps it up, I think Bielsa will have to consider him for 2010.

Fierro has improved slightly, but he's pretty much the same player. He's technically limited, but shows effort on the field by running, making slide tackles, etc. I doubt that's the type of player he was known as Chile, but that is what he has become. A hustle player.

Awesome! :cool:

He sucks. :cool:

El 'Fla' logró un frío empate ante Inter en Porto Alegre.

Una amarga igualdad sin goles consiguió Flamengo en su visita al último campeón de la Sudamericana, que poco le sirve para seguir luchando por ingresar a la Libertadores del próximo año. Maldonado jugó todo el partido, mientras Fierro ingresó a siete del final...

Flamengo se quedó con el clásico ante Fluminense.

Maldonado jugó en dramático empate del Flamengo.

Con el chileno todo el partido, el ‘Fla’ logró un agónico empate 3-3 de visita frente al Vitoria, el que alcanzó con gol al último minuto. El equipo más popular del mundo sumó 42 unidades y se ubicó en el sexto puesto, además de llegar a ocho fechas sin perder...

Maldonado podría retornar al fútbol europeo. :eek:

El volante chileno aparece en los planes nada menos que del Milan, que planea reforzarse a mitad de temporada para revertir la mala campaña. Los italianos tienen en carpeta al chileno, aunque el principal objetivo es Adriano, que antes jugó en el Inter...

Bien por el "Chester", ojala siga jugando y rindiendo bien, para que Bielsa lo llame a futuro. No seria una mala opcion para el mundial.

[MetroChile]

Flamengo con Maldonado se acerca a la Libertadores.

El equipo más popular del mundo, con el volante jugando todo el encuentro, tuvo que batallar más de la cuenta para derrotar al siempre difícil Sao Paulo por 2-1. Con esto el 'Fla' alcanzó la quinta posición y se esperanza con meterse en la Copa Libertadores...

Maldonado mira a la Selección: "Sueño con jugar el Mundial".

El volante de Flamengo dice querer ser "una opción" para Bielsa, aunque reconoce que "en este momento, no me va a citar"...

Flamengo sorprendió al líder Palmeiras en torneo brasileño. El elenco de Maldonado y Fierro (ambos presentes) derrotó a domicilio por 2-0 al "Verdao".

http://www.latercera.com/contenido/656_192970_9.shtml

~En la segunda etapa ingresó Fierro (57') y pocos instantes después remató de larga distancia, provocando un tiro de esquina. Tras esa jugada Petkovic marcó un hermoso gol olímpico (61'). Sexto gol del serbio en el torneo.~

Maldonado has been a very efficient player since arriving here. We are undefeated for 9 games since his arrival and that of Alvaro. He has completed 90% of his passes and has yet to receive a card, despite his marking responsibilities. If he maintains this form, Bielsa definitely needs to give him a look. I'm not sure how your situation is with DMs, but he'd at least be a good bench option.

Thanks for the vid. From a Brazilian standpoint, how is his Brazilian/Portuguese accent, is it heavy or notably foreign?

Agreed. Currently, Maldonado would be competing with 3 other guys for the DM spot. In Bielsa's system, the DM is actually a deep-lying CM that needs to be able to initate attacks and spread the ball about.

-Carlos Carmona (Reggina): essentially and originally a RWB, Bielsa has tried to convert him into a DM and has sone so (imo) unsuccesfully. Tends to give away too many fouls and this is evidenced by the fact he's been suspended 3 times in WCQ (over YC accumulation). Tireless runner but still lacks the "soccer" to the accomplished DM Chile needs.

-Marco Estrada (U. de Chile): lost his spot due to injury but had been an ever-present in Bielsa's squads. Left-footed, and a great free-kick tacker he's a "poor man's" Andrea Pirlo. His tackling has improved because originally was not an out-and-out DM (in fact, he started his career as a LB). Sorely missed in the starting line-up, imo.

-Mauricio Isla (Udinese): another tireless runner-type player and in Italy tends to play on the right side of the field. Started his career (with Chile's U20s) as a DM but has only had one, maybe two good games with the NT: one of which was a friendly this year.

In a nutshell, that is "Chester's" competition at the moment, with Carmona having the nod right now.

He has a Hispanic accent(not heavy), but his grammer and vocabulary are pretty good. Valdivia's and Fierro's Portuguese is atrocious.
