The "marathon" of games between Flamengo and Internacional is about to begin. On the next two Wednesdays (13 and 20) and also on Sunday (17), the teams from Rio and Porto Alegre will face off in the Libertadores and Brasileirão. Is there any advantage or disadvantage to playing so many games in a row? The Flamengo goalkeeper Rossi explained how the Most Beloved will approach the upcoming matches of the season.
— They are two different competitions, each with its own differences. We will always try to play to win. We know that there are 180 minutes in the Libertadores and, in between, we have the Brasileirão game. We will first prepare for the Libertadores game, then the Brasileirão game, and only then think about the Libertadores again. We have to be calm —, projected the goalkeeper Rossi.
In summary, the first Flamengo x Internacional game of the sequence takes place next Wednesday (13), at the Maracanã, in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. The game starts at 21:30 (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. Then, two duels in Porto Alegre.
On Sunday (17), at the Beira-Rio Stadium, there is the 20th round game of the Brasileirão, at 18:30 (Brasília time). Finally, the return game of the round of 16 of the Libertadores starts at 21:30 (Brasília time), with a spot in the quarterfinals of the continental competition at stake.
After being eliminated in the Copa do Brasil by Atlético-MG and Fluminense, Flamengo and Internacional managed to redeem themselves on Saturday (09). At the Maracanã, the Most Beloved beat Mirassol 2-1 and won the symbolic title of the first round of the Brasileirão. The gaúchos, on the other hand, beat Bragantino 3-1 in Bragança Paulista, ending the crisis after four games without a win this year.
