Palmeiras got the better of Flamengo last Saturday (23) in a Brasileirão clash. After the match, Leila Pereira, president of the São Paulo club, made a point of mentioning the importance of the win over the Rubro-Negro at the Maracanã.
The win was good to keep the fans calm (laughs). It was a very important victory for us, but I know it was just one game. Flamengo are a great opponent, especially playing in that temple of football. I really wanted to win the match, but what I truly want is to win the championship," said Leila Pereira in an interview this Monday (25).
The win over Flamengo was extremely important for Palmeiras at this moment. That is because, besides extending their lead over the Rubro-Negro to seven points, the São Paulo side also managed to calm things down behind the scenes. Abel Ferreira, in fact, had been under pressure from the fans.
HOW DO FLAMENGO AND PALMEIRAS STAND IN THE BRASILEIRÃO TABLE?
With the result last Saturday (23), Flamengo remained on 31 points, sitting eight behind leaders Palmeiras, who have 38. However, it is important to mention that Mengo have played one game fewer than their São Paulo rivals.
WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT MATCH?
After the match against Palmeiras, Flamengo already have another important commitment ahead. This Tuesday (26), Mengo face Cusco (PER) aiming to finish as the best first-place team in the group stage of the Libertadores.
The clash between Flamengo and Cusco takes place at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. Therefore, as usual, Coluna do Fla TV will bring all the details of the match with on-site coverage on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media.
