BEHIND THE SCENES: AFTER THE VICTORY AGAINST ATLÉTICO-MG, TITE PRAISES FLAMENGO PLAYERS AND MAKES A SPECIAL REQUEST

Flamengo has played the last few matches of the Brasileirão with several absences, both due to call-ups for the Copa América and injuries. Therefore, Tite has been looking for alternatives to make up for absences. Furthermore, the red-black group is closed. After the victory against Atlético-MG, the coach made a special request to the squad.

"Congratulations. What we are doing as a group is very big. You all know that. And here is a request: take care of yourselves in food and rest. Every match is very tough. Nobody guarantees a greater or lesser degree of ease than we had. Football is not like that. , declared Tite, in Flamengo's dressing room after the victory over Atlético-MG.

During the Copa América period, Rubro-Negro achieved five wins, one draw and one defeat. Thus, Mais Querido have demonstrated the strength of the group and have remained at the top of the competition. So far, Rubro-Negro is the leader of the Brasileirão, with 30 points, three more than second place.

FOCUS ON THE NEXT CONFRONTATION

After beating Atlético-MG , Flamengo turned its attention to the next clash. The Mais Querido squad returns to Ninho do Urubu this Friday (5) to continue preparing for the clash against Cuiabá, this Saturday (6).

Thus, the match against Cuiabá will mark the 15th round of the Brasileirão. The game will be at 8pm, at Maracanã and Flamengo needs to win to be able to remain isolated at the top of the competition.
