Flamengo is still alive in the Copa do Brasil, the Libertadores, and the Brasileirão at this point, and is considered a favorite in all three. After the match against Bahia last Sunday (19), coach Leonardo Jardim was asked about the possibility of Mengo winning all of them.
— I can’t answer that, but I can say that we play responsibly, that we want to be competitive in every competition and not put any of them aside. Nothing will be decided at this point, but it’s important for us to be there so we have the chance to compete in the second half of the season —, Leonardo Jardim said at a press conference.
— Squad rotation allows us to stay fresh in all three competitions. No one has ever won all three; it’s difficult. We have to focus first on the process in order to turn it into wins. Our idea, at this moment, is to prepare the team for the next stage —, concluded the Flamengo coach.
Flamengo has a 100% record in the Copa Libertadores and leads Group A with six points. The Rubro-Negro side beat Cusco (PER) 2-0 in Peru and then defeated Independiente Medellín (COL) 4-1 at the Maracanã.
In the Brazilian Championship, Flamengo has played 11 matches and earned 23 points. As a result, the team sits second in the tournament, behind Palmeiras, which has played one more match. Finally, the Most Beloved is still set to make its debut in the Copa do Brasil.
Flamengo will make its Copa do Brasil debut on Wednesday (22) against Vitória at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in the first leg of the fifth round. Therefore, Coluna do Fla will bring all the information live from the stadium.
