Flamengo and Internacional Will Play a Total of Three Consecutive Matches

Flamengo and Internacional have been going through a true marathon of matches. In total, the teams will face each other in three consecutive games. The first one took place at Maracanã. However, the other two will be played at Beira-Rio, in Rio Grande do Sul. Because of this, the Most Beloved won’t even return to Rio de Janeiro.

In summary, Flamengo and Internacional will face off this Sunday (17th), in a match valid for the 20th round of the Brasileirão. Then, on Wednesday (20th), the teams will meet again, but this time for the second leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores da América.

With that, Flamengo will stay in Porto Alegre from Saturday (16th) until after the match on Wednesday (20th). In fact, the red-and-black squad will use the facilities of Grêmio during the period in which they will be preparing for the Libertadores match.

How is the Preparation for Sunday’s Game (17th)?

It’s important to highlight that Flamengo will finish their preparations for Sunday’s match (17th) still in Rio de Janeiro. Thus, at Ninho do Urubu, coach Filipe Luís will lead the last training session for the red-and-black squad before traveling to Porto Alegre.

According to the schedule released by Flamengo, the squad will train at 9:30 a.m. (Brasília time). Then, starting at 3:00 p.m. (Brasília time), the delegation will depart for Porto Alegre. In short, the strategy aims to avoid travel between matches to ensure a more focused and efficient preparation, as well as to avoid the fatigue caused by consecutive trips.

What Are the Details of the Match?

It’s important to point out that Flamengo will face Internacional again. However, this time, the teams will battle in a match valid for the 20th round of the Brasileirão. The match will take place at Estádio Beira-Rio on Sunday (17th), starting at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time).

After that, Flamengo and Internacional will meet again on Wednesday (20th), in a match valid for the second leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores.
