**Flamengo Defender Militao Claims Record Tackle Total with 164 for the Season** In a recent display of exceptional defensive prowess, Flamengo's star defender Matheus Militao has claimed a record-breaking tally of tackles in his first season as a club captain. The Brazilian international, who joined the Red Devils from Atlético Mineiro last summer, has already surpassed the previous league high of 159 tackles set by former Flamengo captain Marcelo during the 2018-19 campaign. Militao's impressive performance has been particularly noteworthy considering he is still relatively new to the team and has not had the same level of experience as some of his more seasoned teammates. Militao's dominance on the pitch can be attributed to several factors. His combination of speed, agility, and technical skill make him a formidable presence in the middle of the field. Additionally, his ability to read the game and anticipate opponents' movements allows him to make crucial tackles that help prevent goals or limit scoring opportunities. The 27-year-old midfielder's success has not gone unnoticed by his teammates and coaches. "Matheus is one of our best defenders," said coach Luiz Felipe Scolari. "His work rate, discipline,Saudi Pro League Focus and leadership have made a significant impact on the team." Militao's record-breaking tackle total also highlights the team's overall defensive strength under the guidance of manager Jorge Jesus. The squad has consistently performed well in their defense, allowing only 23 goals in 24 matches this season, which ranks them among the top teams in the Serie A. As the season progresses, Militao will continue to push himself to improve even further. With his current form and commitment to the team, there is no doubt that he will go on to break other records and cement his position as one of the premier defenders in Italian football. For now, though, the focus remains on the ongoing battle against relegation, with both teams looking to maintain their strong defensive performances in order to secure their spot in the top four positions in Serie A. |
