Nenê warns Flamengo v Juventude: "If we switch off..." | OneFootball

Flamengo and Juventude face off this Sunday (14th) at Estádio Alfredo Jaconi

Flamengo will take on Juventude next Sunday (14th), for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. The match kicks off at 4pm (Brasília time), at Estádio Alfredo Jaconi, in Caxias do Sul. Leader of the competition, the Rubro-Negro comes in on a high, while the team from Rio Grande do Sul is in the opposite situation: they are in 18th place and fighting against relegation. Despite the favorable scenario for Mengão, the history at Jaconi raises a warning, and Nenê, a key player for the team from the south, acknowledges the difficulty of the match.

WHAT DID NENÊ SAY ABOUT THE MATCH?

At 44 years old and with vast experience in football, Nenê called for maximum focus given the quality of Mengão. According to the midfielder, Flamengo can decide the game on any slip-up. “We have to stay alert the whole time, it’s a game that will be decided in the details. If you lose focus for even two minutes, they are players of great quality and can make the difference at any moment,” he said.

WHY IS JACONI A PROBLEM FOR FLAMENGO?

Even with a superior squad and a good moment in the standings, Flamengo has a poor record at Alfredo Jaconi. That’s because, in 16 matches played at the stadium, the team from Rio has won only three times.

In addition, there have been seven draws and six losses, which represents a success rate of only 25%. In short, playing in Caxias do Sul continues to be a frequent challenge for the club from Gávea.
