“It all started during training and the mentality that we imposed, regardless of what happened in the other game, we should play our game, mainly because we fluctuated in the group stage. Our objective was to impose our pace, to regain control of the game from start to finish and we managed to do this even with one man less.”


David Luiz made a point of highlighting, that despite Flamengo having if classified in second place in the group stage of the Libertadores and having to decide away from home, the main thing is to have the best plan for the round of 16 stage.


“If you want to be champion of the Libertadores you have to be willing and prepared to face all opponents. It's always better to decide at home, but let's make the best plan to qualify.”

In a surprising move, Sportingbet, the bookmaker that already features on Palmeiras' shirt, is set to take over as Flamengo's master sponsor . The club confirmed on Friday afternoon (15) that there is already a winner in the competition for the most prestigious space on the uniform , with the official announcement scheduled for Monday (18).


FAREWELL TO PIXBET


According to UOL journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira, Sportingbet has outbid other major companies in the sector and is in the process of formalizing a contract with Flamengo . The dispute became necessary after Flamengo terminated its relationship with Pixbet, a longtime partner, due to payment delays and issues with government agencies.


The end of the partnership with Pixbet was made official hours before the duel against Internacional for the Libertadores, last Wednesday (13). On that occasion, the team entered the field with the word “thank you” printed above the former sponsor , as a gesture of gratitude for the period of collaboration.

TIGHT COMPETITION


Behind the scenes, Flamengo acted quickly to secure a new partner . The board of directors opened a competition, asking interested companies to submit sealed proposals. Initially, Betano and Superbet emerged as the favorites.

With the entry of other companies, such as Esportes da Sorte, 7K Bet, and Bet Nacional, the competition took on new dimensions. Superbet, which was well-positioned, decided to withdraw after the number of competitors increased . If the deal goes through, Sportingbet will sponsor the two clubs that have excelled in Brazilian football in recent years, deepening the rivalry between them on the national stage.
