Flamengo Tries to Turn the Tables in the Recopa Sudamericana Final

The Flamengo faces Lanús (ARG) this Thursday (26th) in the second match of the Recopa Sudamericana. Before the game in Rio de Janeiro, coach Mauricio Pellegrino praised Filipe Luís and the red-black team's squad.

— It seems to me that there is great intention in the team and in the coach's work. Undoubtedly, Filipe, with his experience as a player and now as a coach, leading a great team, will have opportunities. I believe he is a very prepared coach because of the way his team plays and his experience — Mauricio Pellegrino began.

— We are facing a team that not only has great individual players but also functions as a great team. That's why they have won titles and achieved many successes. I believe they will again. Hopefully, it will be after this final (laughs). But they will succeed — he concluded.

WHAT IS THE SITUATION OF THE MATCHUP?

The Flamengo lost the first match of the Recopa Sudamericana 1-0 in Argentina, with a goal from forward Rodrigo Castillo. Therefore, to become champions, Mengo will need to win by two goals. If they win by one, the decision will go to extra time.

Thus, Flamengo will seek their first title of the season this Thursday (26th) at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla brings all the information directly from the stadium.
