Enzo Maresca mentions Flamengo in an interview: "In this World Cup, between Palmeiras, Flamengo and Fluminense, I'm watching several Brazilian football games."


He continued: "Two things are very clear about the Brazilian opponents. The first is the quality of the Brazilian player. It is probably the best possible. The second is the energy that you (Brazilians) have in these moments. The level is the highest possible," he declared, before concluding:

"I've always had respect for Brazil, it's one of the best countries, if not the best in the world when it comes to football. Now, I've been watching Grêmio games, so I've learned a lot ," concluded Enzo Maresca .

After having a day off last Monday (07), the Flamengo squad will return this Tuesday (08) at Ninho do Urubu. Led by Filipe Luís, the group continues its preparation for the match against São Paulo , which will have an important reinforcement for the game , valid for the 13th round of the Brazilian Championship.


According to the club's official schedule, activity at the CT begins at 9:30 am (Brasília time) , with full focus on the weekend's commitment to its return to the Brazilian football calendar after participating in the FIFA Club World Cup.


FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME


Flamengo 's next challenge is scheduled for Saturday (12), when Rubro-Negro hosts São Paulo , at 4:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. The match will be broadcast live on Globo (open TV) and SporTV (closed channel).

FLAMENGO IN THE LEAD OF THE BRAZILIAN CHAMPIONSHIP

São Paulo will have an important reinforcement off the field in the duel against Flamengo, next Saturday (12), for the Brazilian Championship. Hernán Crespo, announced as the team's new coach, had his name published in the CBF's Daily Information Bulletin (BID) this Monday (07) and is free to command the team at Maracanã. The match, valid for the 13th round, is scheduled for 4:30 pm (Brasília time).


The Argentine takes over after the dismissal of Luis Zubeldía, who was dismissed due to his inconsistent performance in the Brasileirão. Even though the team is still in the Libertadores and the Copa do Brasil, the tricolor board understood that the campaign in the national tournamentwith only 12 points in 12 gameswas insufficient . São Paulo currently occupies 14th place, with two wins, six draws and four losses.


CRESPO MEETS FLAMENGO AGAIN


This will actually be a comeback for Crespo. He already managed São Paulo in 2021, a year in which he faced Flamengo only once — and was defeated with authority . On July 25, Rubro-Negro won 5-1 at Maracanã, with a stellar performance by Bruno Henrique, who scored three goals. Gustavo Henrique and Welington (own goal) also scored, while Arboleda opened the scoring for the visitors.

FLAMENGO LEADS THE CHAMPIONSHIP


The leader of the Brazilian Championship, Flamengo, has 24 points in 11 matches — double the score of São Paulo. Tite's team has won seven games, drawn three and lost only one: to Cruzeiro, away from home, with a penalty goal in second-half injury time. This Saturday's match will be the team's first match after the Club World Cup. The match will be broadcast on Globo (free-to-air TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view).
