Flamengo squad enjoy second day off in a row during FIFA break | OneFootball

Filipe Luís is expected to give Flamengo’s squad three to four days off

On Sunday night (05), Flamengo lost to Bahia, 1-0, in a match valid for the 27th round of the Brasileirão. After the match in Salvador, Filipe Luís gave the squad a day off on Monday (06), and also this Tuesday (07).

In fact, according to a report by Coluna do Fla, the Flamengo squad is expected to have between three and four days off this week. This is because the October FIFA International Break began on Monday (06).

As a result, Filipe Luís’s coaching staff and the Flamengo Medical Department intend to use the FIFA break to give the squad a few days of rest. In short, internally, Fla sees a high level of fatigue among the players.

How did the defeat to Bahia happen?

Against Bahia, Flamengo had another disappointing performance, with two players sent off during the match. Unable to impose their own rhythm on the game, Fla saw the Bahia team open the scoring at the end of the first half, with a goal from Willian José.

How is Flamengo’s position in the standings?

With the defeat to Bahia, Flamengo also lost the lead in the Brasileirão. Currently, the Most Beloved has the same 55 points as Palmeiras, but sits in second place due to the greater number of wins by the São Paulo team.

When is Fla’s next match?

Now, Flamengo will only return to the field on October 15, when they face Botafogo in the 28th round of the Brasileirão. This is because, until then, the national calendar will be paused due to the FIFA break.

Finally, when Brazilian football resumes, Flamengo will have the derby against Botafogo at Engenhão, starting at 7:30 pm (Brasília time). In short, the match will be broadcast live on Premiere, via pay-per-view.
