Journalist backs Flamengo, warns of Estudiantes threat in Libertadores | OneFootball

Flamengo won the first game against Estudiantes (ARG) 2-1 at Maracanã

Flamengo will take the field soon to face Estudiantes (ARG), for the Copa Libertadores. With the advantage on aggregate, Mengo can even draw and still advance. According to journalist Arnaldo Ribeiro, the Most Beloved should advance, but needs to stay alert.

— The stadium will be packed and will be pulsing with the Argentine fans cheering the whole time. But the difference between the teams is huge. So, if Flamengo plays a focused game and doesn’t get caught up in the atmosphere, either from the crowd or the opponent, which is expected to be hostile, with lots of challenges and conflict, Flamengo has everything it needs to come out victorious — began Arnaldo Ribeiro.

— If Flamengo manages to take advantage of the opportunities, something they often haven’t done in games, including the first leg, and score one or two goals up front, the match is over. Then, no matter how active the fans are, the entire opposing team will lose heart, and Flamengo, under normal conditions, will advance to the next round to face Racing (ARG) — concluded the journalist.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S SITUATION?

Flamengo won the first game 2-1 at Maracanã. Pedro and Varela scored the rubro-negro goals in the match in Rio de Janeiro. This way, the Most Beloved can even draw and will still advance to the semifinals to face Racing.
