The 2024 season has been challenging for Flamengo, especially when compared to Bolívar. With a total of 47 matches played, Mengão finds itself with 20 more games than Bolívar, which has 27 games this year. This significant number highlights an exhaustive Brazilian football calendar, which was the reason for many complaints from coach Tite and also goalkeeper Rossi after last Thursday's game.
Flamengo's high number of games has a high price. Injuries and physical and mental exhaustion are constant risks in such a dense calendar. As pointed out this Friday (16) by journalist Mauro Cezar, the consequences of prioritizing tournaments like the Copa do Brasil are enormous. Intense clashes, like those played against Palmeiras, left important players in the medical department. As an example, we have our top scorer Pedro.

The impact of the calendar on performance
While Bolívar faces fewer games, it has more time for recovery and specific preparation for each match. This can be a difference in decisive matches, such as the Libertadores, where every detail makes a difference. The possibility of training more and studying the opponent in more depth is an advantage that can compensate for less game experience.
Even though it is undeniable that Bolívar is a strong team playing at altitude, something that first place in the Flamengo group demonstrated, the history shows that it is not usually enough for big scores.
With three competitions in progress, the balance between the ambition of winning titles and the need to preserve the athletes will enable the Mengão the power to continue in search of the main cups in Brazil and also in South America.
Next clash between Flamengo x BolívarThe second and decisive confrontation, worth a place in the quarter-finals of the Libertadores, will take place next Thursday, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at the Hernando Siles stadium, at the feared altitude of 3,600m in La Paz. Flamengo needs to hold on to the draw or, in the maximum, lose by just one goal difference to guarantee classification without having to go to penalties.

The Flamengo, one of the biggest clubs in Brazilian football, is experiencing a moment of turbulence.

With club elections scheduled for the end of the year and Tite's contract approaching the end, the coach's renewal is considered unlikely. In this scenario, Luís Castro emerges as one of the main candidates to take over Flamengo's technical command, according to details released behind the scenes.
The match against Peñarol, held last Thursday (19), was a reflection of the difficulties faced by Flamengo this season. The team performed poorly on the field, with few clear chances to score and unable to impose their game against an opponent who knew how to defend themselves well. The substitutions made by Tite throughout the match did not bring the expected impact, and Flamengo ended up being defeated at home, frustrating their fans.
The fans' dissatisfaction was evident during the game, with boos directed at the team at several moments. This behavior was not well received by everyone in the squad, especially goalkeeper Rossi. In an interview after the game, the athlete vented, stating that, during the match, the support of the fans is essential, and that booing only increases the pressure on the players at a crucial moment.

Since his arrival at Flamengo, the coach has been facing difficulties implementing his playing style and obtaining consistent results. The team fluctuated in important competitions and was unable to maintain the level of performance expected by a club of Flamengo's size and tradition.
