Time for tweaks! Flamengo have 10 days before next Brasileirão match | OneFootball

Flamengo’s next match is only on August 9

Flamengo drew again in the Brazilian Championship. This time, it was a 1-1 draw with Internacional last Wednesday (29), in the 21st round of the Brasileirão. Now, the Rubro-Negro squad will have ten days to ‘iron out the kinks’ before their next Brasileirão match.

In short, because of the first-leg matches of the Copa do Brasil round of 16, Flamengo will have about ten days until their next Brazilian Championship fixture. That is because Rubro-Negro were eliminated from the knockout competition and are now focusing on the Brasileirão.

What is Fla’s schedule?

So far, Flamengo have only released their schedule through next Sunday (02). As a result, the Rubro-Negro squad has the day off this Thursday (30), but will return on Friday (31). Then, over the weekend, the team will continue preparations focused on the rest of the Brasileirão season.

How was the match against Internacional?

First of all, Flamengo delivered another unrecognizable performance on Wednesday night (29). During the first half, Leonardo Jardim’s team failed to impose its rhythm and saw the opponent create the main chances. In fact, the club from Rio Grande do Sul opened the scoring in the 27th minute through Vitinho.

Trailing on the scoreboard, Rubro-Negro came back from halftime with more possession, but still struggled to trouble goalkeeper Matheus Cunha. Then, in the 34th minute, Samuel Lino equalized after a goalmouth scramble in Internacional’s box, preventing a Flamengo defeat.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Now, Flamengo will only return to the field on August 9 to face Vitória in the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. The match is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. In other words, coach Leonardo Jardim will have ten days to try to solve the team’s problems.

What is the situation in the standings?

In short, if fans had hoped to see Flamengo cut the gap to leaders Palmeiras, what happened on Wednesday (29) was the opposite. Instead of reducing the deficit to three points, Fla saw the gap grow to eight.

That is because, with Flamengo’s 1-1 draw against Internacional combined with Palmeiras’ win over Vitória, Leonardo Jardim’s team’s situation became more complicated. While the São Paulo side have 47 points, Fla are in second place with 39.
