Coluna do Fla has rounded up Flamengo’s main news this Tuesday (25). That’s because the sports media has been covering important updates about the Rubro-Negro, who are getting ready for the next round of the Brasileirão.
Flamengo advanced to the Libertadores quarterfinals after eliminating Cruzeiro last Wednesday (19), following a 2-1 win at the Maracanã. The Rubro-Negro are now awaiting the outcome of the clash between Independiente Del Valle (ECU) and Deportes Tolima (COL), which takes place this Tuesday (25).
The second leg of the Round of 16 between Del Valle and Tolima will be played this Tuesday (25), at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Banco Guayaquil Stadium in Ecuador. So, for Red-and-Black fans who want to follow it, the match will be broadcast on Paramount+ (streaming).
The Maracanã pitch has entered a decisive week of recovery. After the match between Fluminense and Remo on Saturday (22), the team responsible for maintenance began intensive work to improve the field conditions before Flamengo’s next commitment at the stadium. Meanwhile, Mengão prevented Vasco from facing Vitória in the Copa do Brasil on Wednesday (26), using the work on the pitch as justification.
Greenleaf, the company responsible for taking care of the pitch, put together a specific plan to combat the effects of the heavy run of matches and the weather conditions. Finally, the stadium administration set aside the week from August 23 to 29 exclusively for the recovery work.
Flamengo’s squad managed to ease the outside pressure they had been facing after putting together good results in recent matches. Beyond the results, the atmosphere around Fla had also been a topic behind the scenes. With that in mind, Coluna do Fla brings details on what the mood is like between Leonardo Jardim and the Red-and-Black players.
In conversations with people connected to Flamengo football, reporter Rodrigo Lima found that the atmosphere at Ninho do Urubu is light. In addition, coach Leonardo Jardim has been listening to the players in an effort to understand and arrive at an ideal lineup for the Rubro-Negro team.
