Flamengo squad return with focus on Santos after defeat to Bragantino | OneFootball

Flamengo face Santos on Sunday (05)

The return from the FIFA international break was very different from what Flamengo fans had imagined. That’s because Fla lost Matchday 9 of the Brasileirão 3-0 to Red Bull Bragantino on Thursday (02). Now, this Friday (03), the Rubro-Negro squad returns with its focus on Santos.

In short, according to the schedule released by Flamengo, the Rubro-Negro squad will train on Friday afternoon (03). Thus, at Ninho do Urubu, Leonardo Jardim will lead the session, scheduled to begin at 5 pm (Brasília time).

How did Flamengo lose?

As mentioned above, there was great anticipation to see how Flamengo would behave and perform after the FIFA international break. However, the team’s return to the pitch ended up frustrating the fans.

That’s because Flamengo failed to threaten Red Bull Bragantino at any point. Pedro, for example, left the field in the second half without even attempting a single shot. Meanwhile, the Rubro-Negro were beaten 3-0 by the São Paulo side.

What is Fla’s position in the table now?

Still with one game in hand, Flamengo are in sixth place in the Brazilian Championship standings. At the moment, the Rubro-Negro have 14 points from eight matches played. Red Bull Bragantino, meanwhile, moved up to 11th place with 11 points.

What now?

Now, Flamengo turn their focus to their next commitment of the season. With no time to rest, the Rubro-Negro are back in action on Sunday (05), when they face Santos. The teams meet at 5:30 pm (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, for Matchday 10 of the Brasileirão.
