Flamengo face Crespo as São Paulo’s nightmare returns | OneFootball

After a 2-0 at Maracanã, Flamengo and São Paulo meet again at Vila Belmiro

Flamengo won 2-0 against São Paulo in the first round of the Brasileirão. Thus, coach Hernán Crespo thanked God for not having to face the Rubro-Negro always at Maracanã. The teams meet again this Wednesday (05) after the viral statement.

— At this moment, it's about focusing on what we can do, recovering the team, fighting, contesting every ball. And thank God, it's not every day that we play against Flamengo at Maracanã -, said Crespo after the game in July.

What impact did the statement have?

Among Flamengo fans, Crespo's statement reinforced the nickname of Malvadão for Flamengo, which boosted morale. São Paulo fans, however, were upset with the coach, who seemed to belittle São Paulo.

And what did Flamengo do?

The 2-0 score was modest. That's because Flamengo controlled the game at all times. São Paulo did not shoot towards Rossi even once, while 10 Rubro-Negro shots were aimed at the opponent's goal.

Will Flamengo dominate once again?

To repeat the terror over São Paulo, coach Filipe Luís will need to find some solutions for the absence, for example, of Bruno Henrique. That's because the Rubro-Negro idol is serving a suspension.

What time is Flamengo vs São Paulo?

The terror of opponents, Flamengo faces São Paulo this Wednesday (05). The match takes place from 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Vila Belmiro, in Santos.
