Flamengo and São Paulo to Play at Vila Belmiro for the 32nd Round of the Brazilian Championship

Flamengo just defeated Sport on Saturday (01) and is already thinking about the 32nd round of the Brasileirão against São Paulo. Although the home team is São Paulo, the match will take place at Vila Belmiro, which intrigues Flamengo's coach Filipe Luís.

— I believe São Paulo is more comfortable at Vila (Belmiro) than we are; they play there more often than we do. This happens to us too -, stated Flamengo's coach in a press conference after the 3-0 victory in the 31st round, adding that:

— Sometimes we take games to Brasília. It's not that we're used to it, but we're more familiar. The number of fans is often ours. I don't know how the division will be, but it makes a difference. It's clear it won't be the same for São Paulo -, pointed out Filipe Luís.

Why will the game be at Vila Belmiro?

Morumbi will host concerts by Imagine Dragons, Linkin Park, Dua Lipa, and Oasis. Thus, São Paulo will use Vila Belmiro, in the Santos lowlands, to host some games of the Brazilian Championship.

Is playing at Vila Belmiro bad, Filipe Luís?

Despite Filipe Luís's statement, Flamengo has good performances at Vila Belmiro. For example, the historic 5-4 match between Ronaldinho Gaúcho and Neymar took place in the Santos lowlands in 2011.

Where to watch Filipe Luís vs. São Paulo?

Thus, Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (05) to face São Paulo. The match takes place at Vila Belmiro, starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), for the 32nd round of the Brasileirão.

Thus, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the game between Flamengo and São Paulo.
