Various athletes from Flamengo faced a real challenge in the match against Bolívar, held in La Paz, at an altitude of 3,600 meters above sea level. After a 2-1 defeat, the players reported feeling severe discomfort, with the feeling that their heads were about to "explode".

The match, valid for the Copa Libertadores da América, left marks not only on the scoreboard, but also on the health and well-being of the red and black players. Facing conditions as adverse as the altitude of La Paz is an extra challenge for any team, and Flamengo did not escape the effects of this rarefied atmosphere.


The athletes' reports after the game paint a worrying picture. Feelings of malaise, dizziness and headaches were common among players, who struggled to maintain performance amid the challenging conditions. For some, the sensation was described as inhumane, highlighting how difficult it was to deal with the physical demands imposed by the altitude.


FLAMENGO GOES TO CATCH UP ON LOST TIME?

People linked to Flamengo, including members of the technical committee and even renowned coach Tite, expressed their concerns regarding the altitude and its impact on the players' performance. Tite himself, known for his experience and wisdom in the world of football, did not hesitate to point out the difficulties faced by the team in such a hostile environment.


The defeat to Bolívar will certainly serve as a warning for Flamengo and its technical team. Adapting to extreme conditions like the altitude of La Paz is essential for success in international competitions like the Copa Libertadores. Physical and mental preparedness strategies will be re-evaluated and adjusted to more effectively deal with similar challenges in the future.

RETURN BY ERICK PULGAR

For the match, Flamengo must count on a strong reinforcement. Midfielder Erick Pulgar, who has been sidelined since the derby against Botafogo on April 28, is recovered from a sprained ankle. Pulgar did not participate in the games against Amazonas (Brazilian Cup), Red Bull Bragantino (Brasileirão), Palestino-CHI (Libertadores), Corinthians (Brasileirão) and Bolívar-BOL (Libertadores). However, the player trained with the other athletes this Saturday (18), at Ninho do Urubu, and has a good chance of being selected for the duel.



< b>CONTEST FOR POSITION IN THE MIDFIELD

During the absence of Erick Pulgar, Allan was chosen by Tite to assume the role of midfielder. Allan stood out in the matches, especially in the 4-0 rout of Bolívar in the Libertadores, last Wednesday (15). With Pulgar's return, Tite will have the difficult decision of choosing between the two players to line up Flamengo's midfield.


CONTRA MATCH DETAILS AMAZONAS

The match between Flamengo and Amazonas is scheduled for Wednesday (22/05), at 9:30 pm, at Arena da Amazônia, in Manaus. In the first game, Flamengo won 1-0, and now seeks to confirm its classification for the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.


EXPECTATION FOR THE DUEL

With the return of Erick Pulgar and Allan's good form, Flamengo arrives with full strength for the decisive clash against Amazonas. The red and black team hopes to take advantage of the advantage gained in the first game and guarantee their place in the next phase of the tournament.

Coach Tite already has the culprits for the drop in performance of Flamengo in the last three games. The draw against Palmeiras and the defeats to Bolívar (2-1) and Botafogo (2-0) were caused by the synthetic grass at Allianz Parque, the altitude of La Paz and the heat of Rio de Janeiro, respectively. In the post-game press conference, this Sunday, at Maracanã, the coach tried to explain the bad results.

"Football has very high demands. It's not preservation, because it seems like it's something you choose to do , and we don't choose. Our feeling is to spend a very bad Sunday, mine, my family, my athletes with their families and even say what they said: "let's stay quiet and absorb the criticism", this. was the speech. With all this exposure of Flamengo's greatness and need to win, I'm going to say what my heart feels. Botafogo deserved to win, they have their merits, they scored the goal from the dead ball. financial power takes away the best quality, if there is a game at 11am in Rio de Janeiro or Recife, it's not possible. remember the adverse conditions that Flamengo encountered last week. Cleber said:


“The calendar is very busy for us. In the last three games we had synthetic grass, altitude and the heat of Rio de Janeiro. It was inhumane. This whole relationship prevents great games from being played. In the last three games, we were unable to perform at the highest level.”


Flamengo will continue with a full calendar in 2024

Still in interview collective, Cleber Santana compared Flamengo's last week with that of the opponent in this Sunday's game (28). Tite’s assistant said: “Botafogo didn’t need to travel to play at altitude. Botafogo is used to synthetic grass. Today, both teams suffered a lot from the heat, but the opponent was suffering less wear and tear.”


Flamengo will not rest. Until Tuesday, May 7, the team will play three more times. This Wednesday (1), Rubro-Negro faces Amazonas FC, in the third phase of the Copa do Brasil. On Saturday (4), Fla will go to Bragança Paulista to face Red Bull. Finally, on May 7, Flamengo takes on Palestino, in Chile, in a decisive game in their hopes of finishing the Libertadores group stage in first place.
