This Wednesday (3), Flamengo traveled to Belo Horizonte and achieved a memorable victory against Atlético-MG. Even starting the match without Pedro, Tite's men used a good strategy to defeat their opponent 4-2. In addition to scoring twice, Bruno Henrique highlighted, after the match, elements that contributed to the great result away from home.< /p>
The red-and-black idol highlighted the group's mental strength so that they would not become destabilized in front of the athletic fans at Arena MRV. The aspect was guided by Tite and it worked. Even when they conceded the first goal, Mengão contained the opponent's momentum and controlled the duel.
“(The victory) only shows the strength of our group. Whoever enters is committed to playing a great role. The teacher guided us well, playing here is difficult... The most important thing was our mentality, not letting the public destabilize us. We were strong mentally, we managed to score the goals at the right time, a great game and come away with this great victory here today.”
In addition, Bruno Henrique highlighted another recurring request from the commander: to do everything to get out in front of the scoreboard and maintain control of the match. This is how Flamengo did it, going 3-0 up on the scoreboard.
“Professor always asks us to take the lead, because that way we will have a very high probability of winning the games. When we take the lead, we can perform better on the field. We managed to take the lead once again from set pieces, which we are improving more and more. I was happy with the goal and throughout the game we managed to have control and score the goals”, said the “star of the game” in a vote on TV Globo.
Bruno Henrique is already the vice-top scorer of the Flamengo in 2024
Shirt 27 has been important in Mengão's recent games, mainly due to the absence of Everton Cebolinha, who is recovering from a hip injury. Bruno Henrique is already Flamengo's second top scorer this year, with six goals. Pedro is an isolated top scorer, with 24 balls in the net in 2024.
Of the six balls in the BH net, four were in the Brasileirão. The last time the idol had scored two goals in the same match was in 2021. On that occasion, he also scored a double against Barcelona de Gayaquil. The victory confirmed Flamengo in the Libertadores decision.

Estudiantes is already in Rio de Janeiro for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals against Flamengo , scheduled for Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. The Argentine team trained at Fluminense's facilities , preparing for the decisive duel.
Coach Eduardo Domínguez tested a more conservative formation, including an extra defensive midfielder in midfield, as a strategy to contain Flamengo's attacks. According to Radio Província 1270 in La Plata, the change could result in only one striker on the field , demonstrating a more solid defensive posture.
Estudiantes ' likely lineup for the clash includes: Muslera; Gómez, Nuñez, Rodríguez, Arzamendia; Ascacibar, Piovi, Amondarain, Medina, Tiago Palacios; Carrillo.
It's not yet clear whether Piovi will play as an extra midfielder or be replaced by Castro . Amondarain, despite being an attacking midfielder, could drop back and act as a third midfielder, depending on Domínguez's strategy in recent training sessions.
With the prospect of a more closed Argentine team, Flamengo, under the command of Filipe Luís, will have to work hard to break down Estudiantes' defense and seek a positive result in the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals.

Up front, Bruno Henrique is recovered and available to play, expanding coach Filipe Luís's offensive options. Plata and Luiz Araújo are also options at wing. Léo Ortiz returns to the defensive system after missing the match against Juventude.
A possible Flamengo lineup for Thursday has: Rossi; Emerson Royal (or Varela), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas (or Viña); Allan (or De La Cruz), Saúl and Arrascaeta; Plata, Pedro (or Bruno Henrique) and Samuel Lino.
According to information gathered, the club's coaching staff is likely to opt for midfielder Jorginho, who is recovering from a muscle edema. Although he is fit to play, the club does not want to risk losing him for an extended period.
