As a Fluminense fan, I have seen
Andre and Arias for years performing at the finest level at their positions.
This Pereira kept Andre on the bench and positioned Arias on the left side.
That is beyond my understanding.. completely inexplicable.
Arias is an average midfield on the left side but a dangerous players on the right side.
Funny though, over the years I saw other coaches experimenting with him on the left side.. it only worked for Colombia occasionally, and for a specific reason-
To mark De Paul against Argentina.
Other than that specific mission, Arias is way better as an offensive player at the right side of the pitch.
