Leonardo Jardim mentioned how to keep Flamengo performing at a high level


Despite playing at an altitude of nearly four thousand meters, Flamengo traveled to Peru and defeated Cusco (PER) 2-0 last Wednesday (08). After the match, coach Leonardo Jardim praised the squad’s strength and said the group needs to develop solutions.

One of the things I try to develop in this group is our ability to find solutions. Not just the 11 starters, but also those who do not begin the match. That’s why when we made changes, the quality remained the same — Leonardo Jardim said in a press conference.

We scored a goal with Arrascaeta that secured the win for us. Right now we are focused on Fluminense, and then we will have four days to think about Independiente Medellín (COL). We are going to rest so we can have the full squad available for the derby now — concluded the Flamengo coach.

HOW DID FLAMENGO’S WIN HAPPEN?

Flamengo ended the first half level at 0-0 with Cusco. In the second half, the rubro-negro side improved and scored twice, through Bruno Henrique and Arrascaeta, to leave the high altitude with all three points.

WHEN DO FLAMENGO PLAY?

After the win over Cusco, Flamengo put the Copa Libertadores aside and turn their attention to the Brazilian Championship. The rubro-negro team face Fluminense this Saturday (11) at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã in the 11th round.
