Flamengo set a clear objective by the end of the season: winning the Copa do Brasil. The classification against Corinthians confirmed the team in the final against Atlético-MG, and now the focus is total on the 3rd and 10th of November, the dates of the decisive games. However, the preparation for the matches began with some challenges for the technical committee. In addition to dealing with the suspensions of Erick Pulgar and Bruno Henrique, coach Filipe Luís has an additional concern: the likely absence of De La Cruz, injured, in the first game of the final.
The draw for field commands will still be carried out by the CBF, but the Rubro-Negro has already started to put together its strategies for the two decisive clashes. Amid this scenario, Flamengo will have two important commitments before the final of the Copa do Brasil: they will face Juventude at Maracanã, on October 26th, and Internacional, in Beira-Rio, on the 30th. These matches They will be a kind of general rehearsal, allowing the coach to test possible adjustments and tactical alternatives to make up for confirmed and potential absences.
For Filipe Luís, it will be essential to evaluate how the team behaves against opponents with different characteristics, as Juventude fights to stay in Serie A, while Internacional, looking for important points, promises to be a tough test away from home. One of the main issues that Filipe Luís will have to resolve is the formation of the attack for the first game of the final. With Bruno Henrique suspended, and with the risk of a more severe punishment due to the harsh tackle on Matheuzinho , the coach will need to think about a new offensive configuration.
FLAMENGO HAS A HEADACHE
“Gabigol is a player who has already proven his worth in decisive moments and I am sure he can be decisive once again”, highlighted the coach.

In addition to adjust the offensive sector, Filipe Luís will also have to work to compensate for his absence de Pulgar, who had been an important piece in the defensive transition and game distribution. Without the Chilean midfielder, the coaching staff must choose to select other players to fill this gap in midfield. The choice will depend on the characteristics of the opponent and the tactical design that the coach wants to implement, especially for the first clash in early November. In parallel, the team will need to deal with the possibility of the absence of De La Cruz, a key player in creating plays and who had been growing in production during the season.
