Flamengo Needs a Comeback to Win the Recopa Sudamericana Title

Flamengo wraps up preparations to face Lanús (ARG) this Thursday (26th), in the second leg of the Recopa Sudamericana. After losing the first match, Filipe Luís’s team needs a win to secure the title. Thus, Léo Pereira admitted that the squad is anxious for the clash.

— Anxious, obviously. We’re going to be a little anxious to score as quickly as possible, but we need a very strong mental game. We can’t try to rush things — he said, before concluding:

— We expect support for the full 90 minutes, they have the right to demand, it’s the biggest team in Latin America, we understand the fans’ demands, but we hope for that support to overturn the score — concluded Léo Pereira, in an interview with ‘ESPN’.

How is Flamengo preparing for the match against Lanús?

Flamengo will hold their final training session for the match against Lanús on Wednesday afternoon (25th). At 3:30 p.m. (Brasília time), coach Filipe Luís will conclude the red-and-black squad’s preparations and decide on the starting lineup that will take the field at Maracanã.

What does Flamengo need to do to become Recopa champions?

Lanús won the first leg of the Recopa Sudamericana 1-0, last Thursday (19th). Thus, in the match at Maracanã, Flamengo will need to win by two or more goals to be crowned champions. However, if they win by just one goal, the continental title will be decided by penalties.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Lucas Paquetá available, Flamengo returns to the field this Thursday (26th) to face Lanús, in the second leg of the Recopa Sudamericana. The decisive match will take place at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Lanús, through YouTube, their website, and social media. However, ESPN (cable channel) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the Recopa match.
