Why is Cruz Azul coming in with low morale?

Even with only one defeat in this period, Cruz Azul comes to face Flamengo after being eliminated in the semifinals of the Mexican Championship Apertura. Despite a 1-1 draw in both the first and second legs, Tigres (MEX) advanced due to a better record in the qualifying stage.

The elimination from the national championship even sparked a crisis between Cruz Azul fans and coach Nicolás Larcamón. That’s because, on social media, supporters of the Mexican team started a campaign calling for the coach’s dismissal.

And Flamengo?

On the other hand, Flamengo comes into the Intercontinental with high morale. After all, the Rubro-Negro landed in Qatar after winning their fourth Libertadores title and their ninth Brasileirão. Now, Filipe Luís’s team is aiming for their second world title.

When do Flamengo and Cruz Azul face each other?

The match between Flamengo and Cruz Azul takes place this Wednesday (10), for the quarterfinals of the Intercontinental Club Cup. The match kicks off at 2pm (Brasília time), at Ahmad bin Ali Stadium, in Doha, Qatar.

As tradition has it, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match, through their YouTube channel, website, and social media. However, Globo (broadcast TV), GE TV (YouTube), and Cazé TV (YouTube) will broadcast the Flamengo match.
