The classic match between Flamengo and Vasco began even before the ball started rolling. This Sunday (18), goalkeeper Léo Jardim already commented on the confrontation and stated that regardless of the Rubro-Negro team, the duel on Wednesday (21) will be difficult.
— Certainly. We will work on what we can in these two days, listen to what Professor Diniz has to say to us, and prepare a lot to play a great game. Regardless of which team takes the field (from Flamengo), we know it will be a great and difficult game. So we have to prepare well to achieve victory -, said Léo Jardim in a post-match interview.
So far, Flamengo has not yet played with its main squad in the Carioca, as the players are still undergoing pre-season activities. Thus, there is uncertainty about which team will take the field this Wednesday (21).
With the under-20 squad, Flamengo has already played three times in the Carioca. The debut was against Portuguesa-RJ, in a match brought forward from the fifth round. In the game, the Rubro-Negro ended in a 1-1 draw. Against Bangu and Volta Redonda, the young players from Ninho were defeated 2-1 and 3-0, respectively.
The match between Flamengo and Vasco takes place at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (21), at Maracanã, for the third round of the Carioca. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV provides the details of the ‘Clássico dos Milhões’ with the most Rubro-Negro coverage on the internet on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media.
