— The choice of a highly offensive setup shows the Flamengo coaching staff got it right by betting on players who come on well and bring dynamism to the team during matches. With Mirassol sitting among the bottom teams, the red-and-black side takes the field with its best available lineup, with no room for any kind of complacency or unnecessary rest -, began journalist Mônica Alves of Coluna do Fla.
— After all, winning at the Maracanã means closing in on the top of the Brasileirão and moving to just one point behind Palmeiras. In the final stretch of the national competition, every result shapes the standings, making victory in front of the Nação an unavoidable obligation for the strong squad led by Leonardo Jardim -, she concluded.
