On Tuesday (6), the draw for the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil took place, at the headquarters of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), and defined Athletico as Flamengo's opponent. After confirming the clashes in the next phase, Marcos Braz, vice-president of football at the Rio club, analyzed the opponent and lamented the bad start to the season that Mais Querido had in 2023.
- There isn't much what to choose, especially when you get to the end, you basically already know who you're going to end up with. Flamengo has gone eight games without losing as you said, the last two clashes with Fluminense and Vasco were very important, but let's be clear that we won absolutely nothing. And what we could have won, we didn't win. It's about continuing to work, continuing to say little about what we're doing, so that we can have a better end of the year than the beginning - said the manager about the draw.
After the draw, the field commands were also defined. Flamengo and Athletico face each other at Maracanã in the first leg, with the second match being held at Arena da Baixada. It is the fifth year in a row that the teams have faced each other in the national competition, the Rubro-Negros also decided the Libertadores final in 2022, where the Rio club emerged victorious.

Flamengo is a tough opponent; they're the best team in our football world , and they've been achieving great results," the striker declared, before adding:
"But on the field, it's 11 against 11, especially against Vitória, who have a history of playing great games and surprising in several matches. I think we have what it takes to get there and get a great result . We know how difficult the game will be," Osvaldo concluded.
