Heated atmosphere? Inside Flamengo after Copa do Brasil exit | OneFootball

Flamengo Squad Prepares for Match Against Mirassol on Saturday (09) in the Brasileirão

Flamengo did not qualify for the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil, as they lost their spot on penalties to Atlético-MG. However, the atmosphere behind the scenes at the Rubro-Negro after the knockout was far from being considered ‘heated’.

According to the report by Coluna do Fla, the first day of work at Ninho do Urubu after the Copa do Brasil elimination was calm. Despite the ‘game by game’ focus, the players know that the main priority is the Brasileirão and the Libertadores.

Moreover, behind the scenes at Flamengo, the understanding is that the coaching staff's work is “on track”. Therefore, Filipe Luís has full support to continue his work at the Rubro-Negro and pursue the titles of the Brasileirão and the Libertadores.

What is Flamengo's Situation in the Brasileirão and Libertadores?

Currently, in the Brasileirão, Flamengo is the leader with 37 points. The second place is Cruzeiro, also with 37, but with a lower goal difference. In the 19th round of the Brasileirão, Mengão faces Mirassol at Maracanã. Meanwhile, the team from Minas faces Santos at Mineirão.

In the Libertadores, Flamengo is in the round of 16. O Mais Querido faces Internacional, which is currently not having a good season. The first leg is scheduled for next Wednesday (13) at Maracanã, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time).
