CBF reveals dates and times for 2 more Flamengo Brasileirão games | OneFootball

Dates for Flamengo’s matches against Botafogo and Remo are set

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) confirmed, this Friday (14), two more rounds of the Brasileirão: the 25th and 26th. In those matchups, Flamengo will face Botafogo and Remo. The games will take place on two Sundays, at 4:00 PM (Brasília time).

WHAT WILL FLAMENGO’S MATCHES BE IN ROUNDS 25 AND 26?

It is worth noting that the next two rounds of the Brasileirão already had their kickoff times confirmed by the CBF a few weeks ago. In the 23rd round, Flamengo will face Mirassol away from home on Sunday (16), at 6:30 PM (Brasília time). After that, the Most Beloved will take on Cruzeiro on the 22nd at Mineirão, at 8:30 PM.

WHAT ARE THE INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THESE TWO ROUNDS?

Some match dates and times stand out. For example, in the 25th round, Vasco and Cruzeiro will face each other on Saturday (29), at 9:20 PM (Brasília time). The following day, Athletico-PR and Fluminense will take the field at 11:00 AM. In the 26th round, the Rio derby between Fluminense and Vasco will be played on Saturday (05), at 9:00 PM.

FLAMENGO IN THE TRADITIONAL TIME SLOT?

On social media, some fans have complained that Flamengo has ‘disappeared’ from football’s ‘traditional time slot,’ which is 4:00 PM (Brasília time). So, against Botafogo and Remo, Mengão will be back in that famous time slot, with live broadcast on free-to-air TV.

Flamengo had not played at 4:00 PM on a weekend since the 18th round, the last one before the break for the World Cup. On that occasion, Rubro-Negro beat Coritiba 3-0 at the Maracanã. In total, the Most Beloved has played only two matches at that time in this Brasileirão: the other was a 2-2 draw with Vasco.

WHAT IS THE AUTHOR’S OPINION?

— Personally, I like the 4:00 PM time slot. However, specifically for this match against Remo, I don’t think it was a good choice. Heat and the chance of rain, which traditionally happens at that time in Belém. But that cannot be an excuse for anyone who wants to be Brazilian champion —, began Pedro Paulo Catonho, journalist for Coluna do Fla.

— Another interesting detail in the schedule: in these two rounds, Palmeiras will play later. In other words, if Flamengo beats Remo and Botafogo, it will put pressure on the league leader. Some people like that, others don’t think it’s a good thing. What do you think? Leave it below in the comments —, he added.
