Lanús boss on Flamengo gulf: "The best don't always win" | OneFootball

Flamengo needs to beat Lanús (ARG) this Thursday (26th)

Flamengo and Lanús (ARG) will face each other again this Thursday (26th), in the second leg of the Recopa Sudamericana. The Argentine team, in fact, comes in with an advantage after winning the first leg. The coach of the Buenos Aires club, Mauricio Pellegrino, highlighted the financial difference between Argentine and Brazilian teams.

—We try to balance, as a team, the potential that Brazil has in individual talent. Their squads are much stronger because they can bring in new players every year— he said, before concluding:

— We operate in the opposite way, selling our best players. It’s a tough battle, but in football, the team with the best names doesn’t always win— concluded Mauricio Pellegrino, in a press conference.

What is the situation in the Recopa Sudamericana?

The first match of the Recopa Sudamericana took place last Thursday (19th), at the Estadio Ciudad de Lanús. Thus, the Argentine team won 1-0, with a goal from Rodrigo Castillo, and took the lead in the continental competition’s final.

Therefore, Flamengo needs to win by two or more goals to be crowned Recopa Sudamericana champions. However, if the red-and-black team wins by just one goal, the match against Lanús will go to extra time.

When do Flamengo and Lanús play?

Looking to turn things around in the final, Flamengo will face Lanús again this Thursday (26th). The match kicks off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the second leg of the Recopa Sudamericana.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Lanús, through YouTube, their website, and social media. However, ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the Recopa match.
