Flamengo will take the field soon, starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), to face Lanús (ARG) in a match valid for the Recopa Sudamericana. Before the match, the former coach of Mengão, Vanderlei Luxemburgo, posted a message of support on social media.
— Tonight we have a very important decision. A decision is not played, it is won. Our team's striker will take the field, which is our fan. They will make the difference as always — said Vanderlei Luxemburgo.
— And the criticism, Filipe Luís, it exists, it's part of our career, our profession. So, don't worry, the important thing is to win, the important thing is for you to keep doing your job. The criticism will always be there — the coach concluded, in a post on Instagram.
Flamengo lost the first match to Lanús 1-0, with a goal by striker Rodrigo Castillo, at the Estádio La Fortaleza. Therefore, to win the Recopa Sudamericana title, the Most Beloved needs to win by two goals.
Thus, Flamengo faces Lanús this Thursday (26th), at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the second leg of the Recopa Sudamericana. As usual, Coluna do Fla brings all the information about the match.
