Flamengo enters a decisive phase in the calendar and intensifies logistical planning. With commitments in the Brasileirão and Libertadores, the coaching staff seeks to minimize the squad's fatigue. The strategy includes quick trips and immediate return after matches.
The logistics for away games are already defined. The match against Fortaleza, at Castelão, takes place on October 25, a Saturday. According to journalist Venê Casagrande, the delegation returns to Rio de Janeiro right after the final whistle.
The trip to Buenos Aires will be on Monday, the 27th. The decisive clash with Racing (ARG) happens two days later, on the 29th, for the second leg of the Libertadores semifinals. Therefore, the club prioritizes rest and adaptation to the Argentine capital.
The match is for a spot in the grand final of the continental competition. Thus, the planning aims to minimize the impacts of travel. The order is clear: total focus on preparation and physical recovery.
Before facing away commitments, Flamengo plays three games in Rio de Janeiro. The first challenge is this Wednesday (15), against Botafogo, at Estádio Nilton Santos, at 7:30 PM (Brasília time).
Right after, the Rubro-Negro hosts Palmeiras on Sunday (19) and Racing at Maracanã the following Wednesday, October 22.
The sequence is considered key to keeping the team competitive on both fronts. In the Brasileirão, the Rubro-Negro tries to recover after losing the lead. With 55 points, the Mengão occupies second place and seeks to stay close to the leader Palmeiras.
The coaching staff bets on the home advantage to regain momentum. The goal is to return to winning ways and arrive strong for the away challenges. In short, the final stretch demands maximum performance and precision in planning.
