Alex Sandro on Flamengo v Estudiantes: “From my point of view…” | OneFootball

Left-back Alex Sandro returns to the starting lineup after five games out due to a calf injury

Back in the starting lineup after five games, left-back Alex Sandro highlighted the pressure Flamengo is under this Thursday (25). This is because Filipe Luís's team is about to face Estudiantes de La Plata (ARG), at the UNO Stadium, starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time).

— We know the importance of the duel. From my point of view, we won the first leg, we would have liked a more elastic result. But we came here to win, and that's what we'll do. If it were up to me, I would always play the second match with an advantage -, highlighted Alex Sandro to add that:

— We know the advantage we have, but we cannot get comfortable. We came to do our best, which is always to enter the stadium to win -, stated the left-back, who suffered a calf injury at the end of August.

Why are Flamengo and Estudiantes facing each other?

The minimal advantage on the scoreboard gives Flamengo the right to secure a draw with Estudiantes to advance to the semifinals of the Libertadores. However, a two-goal difference in favor of the Argentines puts the future of the Rubro-Negro at risk in the tournament.
