‘Under the radar’ and relaxed: Flamengo land in Argentina for Libertadores | OneFootball

Flamengo is Already in Argentina for the Semifinal Match

Flamengo is already on Argentine soil for the semifinal of the Copa Libertadores da América. This Monday (27), the red-and-black plane landed in the neighboring country around 6:30 PM (Brasília time). By 9:00 PM (Brasília time), the Rubro-Negro had arrived at the hotel, which is located away from the main center of Buenos Aires.

The logistics are the same as in the quarterfinals, when Flamengo overcame Estudiantes de La Plata (ARG). Therefore, the idea for the Rubro-Negro is to stay away from Racing (ARG) fans, so that ‘external factors’ do not interfere with the preparation of the Most Beloved.

Both the arrival at the airport and at the hotel were smooth, with only journalists following the team’s arrival. Most of the Flamengo fans are still on their way, and the expectation is that Buenos Aires will be painted red and black starting this Tuesday (28).

WHAT’S NEW IN THE SQUAD?

In summary, from the team that traveled to Fortaleza over the weekend, Flamengo welcomes back Erick Pulgar and Jorge Carrascal, who served suspensions in the Brasileirão. In addition, Alex Sandro, who was rested, will face Racing. Finally, Léo Ortiz has recovered from a physical issue and is also in Argentina.

There is also the case of De La Cruz. Left out of the squad against Fortaleza, the Uruguayan has recovered after a week with a virus and is also an option for coach Filipe Luís. This Tuesday (28), the coach will decide the lineup in the final training session at Defensa Y Justicia’s training center (ARG).

WHEN IS FLAMENGO VS RACING?

Thus, the match between Flamengo and Racing kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) on Wednesday (29), with full coverage from Coluna do Fla, which is in Argentina to bring all the information about the match. In addition, Globo will broadcast the clash throughout Brazil.
