Leonardo Jardim reveals how Flamengo can win the Brasileirão title | OneFootball

Palmeiras opened up a seven-point lead over Flamengo

Flamengo lost to Palmeiras this Saturday (23), 3-0, in the 17th round of the Brasileirão. With the defeat, the Rubro-Negro fell further behind in the Brasileirão title race. In a press conference, coach Leonardo Jardim gave the recipe for Mengão to win the national title.

— In the league we are seven points behind, and we could cut that to four. Usually, champions don’t win the direct clashes, they win against the other opponents — I told the players that. I wanted to win the game, the stadium was full -, he said, before concluding:

— In the opening minutes, nothing suggested this would happen. That was our ambition, our plan. The fans were incredible. We are further behind now, but it’s a long championship, and we believe we’ll make up the points and Flamengo will be champions -, Jardim concluded.

What is the situation in the Brasileirão?

With the win this Saturday (23), Palmeiras reached 38 points and remains at the top of the Brasileirão. Right behind them, Flamengo stays on 31 points, but has a game in hand compared to Abel Ferreira’s team.

Does Flamengo have a postponed game in the Brasileirão?

Yes! Flamengo had a match postponed at the start of the Brasileirão, against Mirassol, in the fourth round of the Brasileirão. That was because the Rubro-Negro was focused on the Recopa Sudamericana final against Lanús (ARG).

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Flamengo will now “switch gears” and turn its focus back to the Libertadores. This Tuesday (26), the Rubro-Negro faces Cusco (PER) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in the final round of the tournament’s group stage.

So, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Cusco through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the Libertadores match.
