Fluminense legend tips Abel Ferreira before Flamengo v Palmeiras final | OneFootball

What did Felipe Melo, Fluminense idol, say to Abel Ferreira?

Flamengo and Palmeiras take the field this Tuesday (25) against Atlético-MG and Grêmio, respectively, for the 36th round of the Brasileirão. The fans of both teams, however, are already thinking about the big final of the Libertadores, which takes place on Saturday (29).

Amid preparations for the Brasileirão matches, Flamengo and Palmeiras are starting to focus on the Libertadores final, at the Estadio Monumental de Lima, in Peru. Fluminense idol and Grupo Globo commentator, Felipe Melo, gave a tip to Abel Ferreira on how to restore the morale of the São Paulo team.

What did Felipe Melo say?

– I agree with Abel that the Brazilian Championship is decided. Despite that, I think Abel needs to put his best on the field against Grêmio. Winning a game like this, complicated, away from home, helps. It boosts morale to face a rival like Flamengo –, he said, before concluding:

– A win is important. Otherwise, Palmeiras will arrive at the Libertadores on a streak of 5 games without a win. That is very complicated. They need to arrive with high morale, and that comes with a triumph over Grêmio –, concluded Felipe Melo, during the ‘SporTV’ program.

What is Palmeiras’ current situation?

It’s worth noting that Palmeiras is coming off four games without a win in the Brasileirão, with two losses and two draws. Thus, Abel Ferreira’s team has dropped to second place in the table, with 70 points.

Additionally, Palmeiras saw Flamengo pull ahead at the top of the Brasileirão. At this moment, o Mais Querido sits in first place in the championship, with 74 points. In other words, Filipe Luís’s team is very close to securing their ninth national title.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

While the final of the Libertadores hasn’t arrived yet, Flamengo continues preparing for their next match. This Tuesday (25), Filipe Luís’s team faces Atlético-MG, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), for the 36th round of the Brasileirão.

Thus, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (broadcast TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match between Flamengo and Atlético-MG.
