BREAKING INTO THE BRASILEIRÃO TOP FOUR?

After starting the Brasileirão with one draw, one loss, and just one win in the first three rounds, while conceding four goals, Flamengo finally came alive in the competition. As a result, in March, Mengão won three matches and drew one, found the net nine times, and conceded just one goal.

Showing clear improvement in performance, Flamengo managed to break into the Brasileirão top four. At the moment, the team coached by Leonardo Jardim has 14 points, with one game in hand compared to Palmeiras (1st), São Paulo (2nd), and Fluminense (3rd).

COACHING CHANGE?

Besides the team’s improvement, the month of March was also marked by the dismissal of Filipe Luís from the helm of Flamengo. After the 8-0 rout of Madureira, the coach was let go, making way for Leonardo Jardim, who so far still does not know what it is to lose with the Rio club.

STARTING THE MONTH OF APRIL

At the moment, the calendar is paused for the FIFA international window, which runs from March 23 to 31. As such, Flamengo is focusing on its April commitments, which include matches in the Brasileirão, the Libertadores, and the Copa do Brasil. On Thursday (02), the Rubro-Negro face Red Bull Bragantino in Bragança Paulista.

Kickoff is at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Estádio Cícero de Souza Marques, for the ninth round of the Brasileirão. Of course, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring full coverage of the clash through the website, YouTube, and social media.
