Flamengo get another free week, Filipe Luís targets squad recovery | OneFootball

Flamengo only returns to the field next Sunday (14)

Flamengo drew 1-1 with Grêmio in a match valid for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. After a marathon of games that has been going on since before the Club World Cup, Fla is getting a small break in the schedule.

With this, Flamengo will have another week free of matches. This way, coach Filipe Luís will be able to focus exclusively on recovering and preparing the rubro-negros players for the rest of the season. In September, in fact, Fla has decisive matches in the Libertadores da América.

Why is Flamengo getting a break in the schedule?

Although a free week is positive for the coaching staff to prepare and rest the squad for the rest of the season, the break came due to the pause in the schedule because of the FIFA Date. In addition, the elimination of Mais Querido from the Copa do Brasil, against Atlético-MG, also spaced out Fla's commitments a bit more.

It is worth remembering that between September 1 and 10 there is the FIFA Date with the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. In the meantime, the next commitment for Mais Querido this season is only next weekend, for the Campeonato Brasileiro.

What is Flamengo's next match?

Now, Flamengo only returns to the field next Sunday (14), when they face Juventude, for the 23rd round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. Thus, the teams will face off starting at 4pm (Brasília time), at Estádio Alfredo Jaconi, in Rio Grande do Sul.
