Libertadores and Brasileirão: Flamengo set for Del Valle and Bragantino | OneFootball

Flamengo return to action this Thursday (17) against Independiente del Valle (ECU), and on Sunday (20) they face Red Bull Bragantino

Flamengo have a busy week ahead, as Leonardo Jardim’s side have two important matches coming up, on Thursday (17) and Sunday (20). With their focus on clashes in the Libertadores and the Brasileirão, against Independiente del Valle (ECU) and Red Bull Bragantino, respectively, the club has finalized the full schedule for the matches.

After beating Corinthians 2-1 in the Brasileirão this Sunday (13), the Rubro-Negro squad will report back at 11 a.m. (Brasília time) this Monday (14) at CT Ninho do Urubu. On Tuesday (15), the players will train at 10 a.m. (Brasília time).

Finally, on Wednesday (16), Leonardo Jardim will lead the final session focused on the match against Independiente del Valle. That is because on Thursday (17), Rubro-Negro face the Ecuadorian side from 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, looking to secure a place in the Libertadores semifinal.

In the first leg of the quarterfinals, Mengão won 2-0 in the altitude of Quito. In other words, Jardim’s men can lose by one goal and still advance to the final four of the continental tournament. Also, it is worth noting that any tie on aggregate will send the decision to penalties.

WHAT ABOUT THE MATCH AGAINST RED BULL BRAGANTINO?

With no time to rest, the day after the Libertadores match Flamengo’s players will return to training. At 11 a.m. (Brasília time) on Friday (18), coach Leonardo Jardim will lead the first session aimed at the match against Red Bull Bragantino on Sunday (20), at the Maracanã, at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time).

That means Flamengo will have three training sessions focused on the 28th round of the Brasileirão. In short, the players will train from Friday (18) through Sunday (20), the day of the match, at CT Ninho do Urubu.

At the moment, the Most Beloved have 57 points and sit top of the Brasileirão table, with 27 matches played. Palmeiras are right behind them in second place with 56 points. In other words, a Rubro-Negro win over Red Bull Bragantino is extremely important so they do not have to depend on the results of the green-and-white side to stay at the top.
