Flamengo and Racing (ARG) face each other this Wednesday (22), at Maracanã, for the first leg of the Libertadores semifinal. Thus, Zico took the opportunity to give a tip to the Rubro-Negro.
— I always preferred this, playing the first game at home. And when you get the result at home, you transfer the responsibility to the other, and it's bigger, right?! You have the obligation to win and score a certain number of goals. The problem that happened against Estudiantes was this -, he said, before concluding:
— At the moment when you had to twist the knife and turn, to score three, four, it wasn't done. At home, it's for that. When you have the chance, within the game, absolute dominance, and you waste it, with an extra touch and such, it complicates things -, he said, in an interview with LANCE!
The return match between Flamengo and Racing will be held in Argentina, for the Libertadores. Therefore, the Most Beloved needs to gain a good advantage in the first leg, at Maracanã, to have peace of mind in the second clash.
The match between Flamengo and Racing is scheduled for 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (22), at Maracanã, for the first leg of the Libertadores semifinals. Thus, the game will be broadcast by Globo, on open channel, and by GETV, on YouTube.
