Globo backs Flamengo v River Plate to beat CazéTV and World Cup | OneFootball

Flamengo vs River Plate (ARG) will go head-to-head with a World Cup knockout match

The “football planet” is at a standstill because of the World Cup, but Flamengo promises to “spice up” the ratings battle next Friday (03). That is because the Rubro-Negro will face River Plate (ARG) in a friendly to be played in Portugal. In addition to Band, the pay-TV channel SporTV has also secured the rights to broadcast the clash as it looks to compete with the World Cup.

Flamengo vs River Plate kicks off at 3:30 p.m. (Brasília time). Half an hour earlier, at 3:00 p.m., Australia and Egypt will face off in search of a place in the World Cup round of 16. So there is a great chance for the Nação to “run over” the World Cup in the ratings.

Considered one of the less attractive games of the second stage of the World Cup, Australia vs Egypt will be broadcast by Globo, SporTV, and CazéTV. On the other hand, Band and SporTV itself, on the broadcaster’s second channel, as well as GETV (YouTube) and Premiere, will air Flamengo’s match.

WILL FLAMENGO’S OTHER MATCHES IN PORTUGAL BE BROADCAST?

Besides River Plate, Flamengo will also face Lausanne (SUI) and Benfica (POR) in the friendly tournament called the Algarve Trophy. The match against the Swiss side will be on June 8 at 4:30 p.m. (Brasília time), while the clash with the Portuguese team will take place on 11/07 at 3:30 p.m. All matches will be shown by SporTV/Premiere, GETV, and Band.

WHAT IS BAND’S PLAN FOR THE MATCH?

Band is also betting big on Flamengo to get strong ratings. That is why the broadcaster has already announced the lineup of those who will work on the match. Sérgio Maurício will handle play-by-play, with commentary from two former players developed by the club: former goalkeeper Getúlio Vargas and former center-back Fernando Santos, both champions of the 2006 Copa do Brasil.

The channel said it will begin the broadcast 15 minutes before kickoff. In other words, the idea is to “keep” fans from changing channels and watching the World Cup match, which will take place at virtually the same time.

WHAT IS THE AUTHOR’S OPINION?

— We will only know the television ratings hours or days later. However, on YouTube, the numbers appear live on the platform itself. It will be impactful if GETV beats CazéTV with the broadcast of Flamengo vs River Plate. In fact, that is the trend — said Pedro Paulo Catonho, journalist for Coluna do Fla.
