After the end of the FIFA Date, Flamengo returned to the field on Thursday night (19). At the Mineirão stadium, Mais Querido beat Cruzeiro by a score of 2-0. The match marked Tite's debut as Rubro Negro's new coach. In the post-game press conference, the new coach revealed the goals he has in front of the team.


"Flamengo of Flamengo. I tried to have the ability to preserve what Flamengo is historically. What are the characteristics of the players in the squad . It's the work that has to be valued. The coach cannot be overvalued. We, on the committee, have to enhance the athletes, and we don't want great recognition from you. Adjust gears", he said, in a press conference.


It is worth remembering that Mais Querido's new coach was officially announced last week, on Monday (09) and presented last Monday (16). Firstly, the coach arrived to replace Jorge Sampaoli, who left the club with a questionable job and controversial performances.


Therefore, Tite will have the mission of classifying the Flamengo team directly for the Libertadores 2024. However, beyond that, the coach needs to regain the players’ trust. Beforehand, the coach highlighted that he is keen to adjust the team's gears.

With the next commitment in sight, the Rubro Negro squad will not have a break. According to journalist Fred Gomes, from GE, the team will perform again at CT Ninho do Urubu this Friday (20), at 3pm. On Saturday (21), the squad will arrive at CT around 2:30 pm, to begin concentration for the classic against Vasco.

Flamengo hosts Estudiantes this Thursday (19), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. For this decisive duel, tarot reader Luiz Filho, from the “Renascer das Cartas” channel on YouTube, indicated that Rubro-Negro enters the field as the favorite for the confrontation.


According to Luiz Filho, the team led by Filipe Luís will display "a lot of strength and boldness" on the field . The prediction suggests that Flamengo must act practically and objectively to achieve its objectives in the duel, while also maintaining calm and composure to control the action and dictate the pace of the game at Maracanã.


On the other hand, the tarot reader pointed out that Estudiantes could experience fluctuations throughout the match, which could compromise the Argentine team's performance. For Luiz Filho, this scenario increases Flamengo's chances of achieving a favorable score in the first leg , giving them an advantage in the decisive away clash.


PROBABLE FLAMENGO

After training last Wednesday (17), the tendency is for coach Filipe Luís to send onto the field a Flamengo with: Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; De La Cruz (Allan), Saúl and Arrascaeta; Plata, Samuel Lino and Pedro.


PACKED MARACANÃ

The Red-Black Nation promises another great party. All tickets were sold in advance, guaranteeing the presence of over 69,000 fans. This should be Flamengo's largest crowd in this edition of the Libertadores. The expectation is to repeat the solid performance of the round of 16, when the team eliminated Internacional with two wins and qualified 3-0 on aggregate.
