A PLACE IN THE BRASILEIRÃO TOP FOUR?

After starting the Brasileirão with one draw, one loss, and just one win in the first three rounds, while conceding four goals, Flamengo finally woke up in the competition. As a result, in March, Mengão won three matches and drew one, scored nine goals, and conceded just one.

Showing clear improvement in performance, Flamengo managed to break into the Brasileirão top four. At the moment, the team coached by Leonardo Jardim has 14 points, with one game in hand on Palmeiras (1st), São Paulo (2nd), and Fluminense (3rd).

CHANGE OF COACH?

Besides the team’s improvement, March was also marked by the dismissal of Filipe Luís as Flamengo head coach. After the 8-0 rout of Madureira, the manager was let go and replaced by Leonardo Jardim, who, so far, is still unbeaten with the Rio club.

STARTING THE MONTH OF APRIL

At the moment, the calendar is paused for the FIFA international window, which runs from March 23 to 31. As such, Flamengo is focusing on its April commitments, which include matches in the Brasileirão, the Libertadores, and the Copa do Brasil. On Thursday (02), the Rubro-Negro will face Red Bull Bragantino in Bragança Paulista.

Kickoff is at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time at Estádio Cícero de Souza Marques, for the ninth round of the Brasileirão. And of course, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring full coverage of the match through the website, YouTube, and social media.
