What is the author’s opinion?

“Flamengo will have the support of the fans at the Maracanã as they try to get back to winning ways after two straight draws. With ten days of exclusive preparation, Leonardo Jardim’s team has no excuse not to deliver a satisfactory performance, even with the absences. More than just taking the three points in the Brasileirão, Mengão need to show they are still alive and chasing another national league title,” said Mônica Alves, journalist at Coluna do Fla.
