Last Wednesday (09), Flamengo was defeated 2-1 by Central Córdoba (ARG) at Maracanã, in a match valid for the second round of the group stage of the Copa Libertadores. With an alternative team on the field, the Rio de Janeiro team was defeated in front of its fans and raised discussions about the planning adopted for the season.
The decision to rest the starters did not happen by chance. Flamengo chose to prioritize the Brazilian Championship, as two of the main athletes in the squad have publicly stated : Arrascaeta and Léo Ortiz. Both acknowledged the internal directive , but reinforced the collective desire to seek victory in all matches, regardless of the tournament.
The Brazilian would be a priority..."
After the home defeat, Uruguayan Arrascaeta commented on the club's decision: “ Yes, they told us that the Brazilian Championship would be a priority . But we went in to win every game. Unfortunately, we didn't get the win. We showed that we are a team that can be beaten too.”
Along the same lines, Léo Ortiz also reinforced the position: “ They (José Boto and Filipe Luís) talked about prioritizing the Brazilian Championship. In the locker room, we always talk about going into the games to win. All the players are ready to be starters, to win every game.”
With the defeat, Flamengo remains with three points in the table and sees its qualification for the round of 16 threatened. The decision to rotate the squad divided opinions among fans and sports commentators, especially given the responsibility of playing at home.

Flamengo received important news this Monday (4). Midfielder Arrascaeta underwent tests at the club's training center, Ninho do Urubu, which ruled out any muscle injury in the thigh. Thus, the number 10 is fit to reinforce the team in the return match against Atlético-MG , in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.
The Uruguayan was substituted at halftime of the match against Ceará last weekend after complaining of muscle discomfort. The decision to withdraw him was made by coach Filipe Luís as a preventative measure , avoiding the worsening of a possible clinical condition.
The player's departure at half-time caused apprehension among fans, who feared the absence of the team's main playmaker in a decisive match. However, tests carried out on Monday ruled out any medical concerns , and Arrascaeta is available to the coaching staff for the match against Atlético-MG, on Wednesday (6).
Internally, the news was received enthusiastically, particularly given the tactical importance the midfielder represents to the team's attacking system . If he's fully fit by game day, Arrascaeta is likely to start.
After a 1-0 defeat in the first leg at Maracanã, Flamengo needs to win by two goals to secure a direct spot in the quarterfinals. If Flamengo wins by one goal, the match will go to penalties . A draw or another defeat in Belo Horizonte will result in Flamengo 's elimination from the competition.
