Argel Fuchs named Palmeiras as Flamengo's main rival in the Brasileirão

The Flamengo remains active in the main Brazilian football tournaments and continues to pursue more titles this season. According to coach Argel Fuchs, former Internacional coach, the Most Beloved and Palmeiras are the teams with the best chances of lifting the Brasileirão trophy. Additionally, the coach highlighted the difference-maker: Filipe Luís.

— In my opinion, the two are slightly above the others. Flamengo and Palmeiras, more or less like that. They are the two teams that, today, will fight head-to-head in the Brazilian Championship. I don't see the other teams, at this moment, at that level. Today the fight is only between the two — started Argel Fuchs.

— Flamengo is doing well. I think Flamengo is the favorite in the Brazilian Championship and also in the Libertadores. I dare to say, hypothetically, that coach Filipe Luís might surpass Jorge Jesus, win the Brazilian Championship and also win the Libertadores — concluded the coach.

HOW IS FLAMENGO DOING?

Currently, Flamengo has 47 points in the Brazilian Championship and remains at the top of the tournament. Additionally, the team led by coach Filipe Luís has one game less compared to Cruzeiro, the second-placed team. Palmeiras, mentioned by Argel Fuchs, is in third place.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Aiming to maintain the lead in the Brazilian Championship, Flamengo will take the field on Sunday (14). The team led by Filipe Luís will face Juventude at 4 PM (Brasília time) at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in a match valid for the 23rd round.
