Rafael Guanaes outlines Mirassol approach before Flamengo clash | OneFootball

Rafael Guanaes says Mirassol will focus on recovery and smart decisions before facing Flamengo in the Brasileirão on Sunday 16 at 18:30 Brasília time at Estádio Maião, according to Coluna Do Fla.

Before turning to Flamengo, Mirassol faced LDU (EQU) on Thursday in the Libertadores round of 16 first leg, and Guanaes voiced gratitude for the chance to be in a continental competition. He described it as the biggest game in the club’s history and of his career, adding it should not be treated as routine.

The coach noted a heavy run ahead and said Mirassol would take it day by day. He underlined the need to recover the team and find solutions for Flamengo, then switch focus back to the Libertadores.

In the league, Mirassol sit 15th with 23 points, close to the relegation zone. Flamengo are also balancing both fronts, having ended a run of two draws and trimmed Palmeiras’ lead to six points.

The meeting carries weight for Flamengo’s title push. If they win on Sunday 16 and Palmeiras slip against Fluminense on Saturday 15, they would be three points off the top.

The match will be shown on Record free to air, Cazé TV on YouTube and Premiere on pay per view.
