Vitão has been at Flamengo for how long? Plays a lot, right? And I also can't fail to praise Léo Jardim. I'm going to sleep now. I promise. Léo Jardim. If it weren't for Léo Jardim, it would have been about four -, stated the former midfielder in a post on Instagram.

How did Flamengo beat Vasco?

The statistics show that the Most Beloved shot towards the target 12 times, while the opponent did not make any shots. The match at Maracanã, however, ended only 1-0. This is because the opposing goalkeeper made at least four difficult saves.

However, Carrascal hit a beautiful volley in the second half of the main team's debut. In the first three games, the Rubro-Negro was represented by the under-20 team, which had two losses and one draw.

What is Flamengo's next game?

With the main team available, Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (25) to face Fluminense. Moreover, the classic takes place starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the fourth round of the Carioca.

Thus, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the Fla-Flu through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open channel), GE TV (YouTube) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the classic.
