Rubro-Negro stumbled against Cuiabá, but remains in the game leadership. However, the objective is to increasingly isolate himself as leader of the Brasileirão. Therefore, we projected Flamengo's schedule with the next five games for the Brasileirão, against Fortaleza, Criciúma, Vitória, Atlético-GO and São Paulo.
x Fortaleza
The Copa América final is on July 14th, and the Uruguayan quartet can play in the final or fight for third place, on the 13th. The match against Fortaleza takes place on July 10th. In other words, still without Arrascaeta, De La Cruz, Viña and Varela.
Even with casualties, the team has done well without its main players and can win.
The game takes place in home, and the Nation will push Flamengo to three more points. The projection is for another victory, against a team that experiences fluctuations in the season. The favoritism is red and black, and you can imagine one more victory.
x Criciúma
On July 20, it is certain that Flamengo will already will have all of their players available, except those injured. The Copa América will be over. The quartet will now be back to work at Ninho do Urubu.
All this for a home match and an inferior rival. Criciúma has just promoted from Series B, and Flamengo has everything to show that it is superior, if it has the entire squad available.
Criciúma is even running a regular campaign, thinking that the team is still trying to maintain itself in the first division. But the dominance promises to be flamenco, and the tendency is for the club to get three more points.
x Vitória
Vitória fights at the bottom of the table and should not pose a danger to Flamengo. Trying to move away from Z4, the Bahian team only won three times, drawing another three games and losing seven. In other words, the vast majority.
The team only beat the bottom team, Fluminense, the dismantled and in a terrible phase Atlético-MG, who also succumbed to Flamengo, and Internacional, playing at Barradão and with a penalty on the last move.
The projection is for another peaceful victory, if the phases continue and logic prevails. Mainly with the team getting back together with the pieces that went to the Copa América.
x Atlético-GO
The game against Atlético-GO happens at home. It is one of the matches considered to be the calmest of those that Mengão has ahead of them. This is because Atlético's moment is terrible, and the club is second in the competition. Only Fluminense appears behind.
Playing at Maracanã, Mais Querido will have the massive support of the Nation. Away from home, Rubro-Negro beat their opponent 2-1, and the tendency is for three more points to be won at home.
x São Paulo
The game against São Paulo is the most complicated of the sequence. The São Paulo team is in the G4 and is fighting to be among the contenders for the title. Therefore, it is a treacherous game to keep an eye on.
Even because the game takes place in Morumbi, where Flamengo usually has difficulties. Even when they were Brazilian champions, in 2020, Mengão lifted the cup losing to the opposing team in São Paulo. But with the Copa América reinforcements having already returned, the tendency is for Rubro-Negro to grow even more, and it is possible to maintain their unbeaten record by achieving a difficult draw.
Projection is 44 points for Flamengo in the 20th round of the Brasileirão
If Rubro-Negro achieves this good run, they will have 44 points in 20 games in the Brasileirão, starting the round as leader. Flamengo now has 31, which would mean adding 13 more. This would probably indicate that the Rio team managed to isolate itself at the top of the table, which became the team's main objective. The team remains at the top, but seeks to continue like this until the end of the season.

After the away win over Juventude , Filipe Luís took advantage of the press conference to discuss Saúl's current form. The Spaniard has been one of the team's standouts this season , contributing assists, marking, and attacking presence. For the coach, the midfielder is enjoying the peak of his career and is a model of professionalism.
"We're seeing the best Saúl . Perhaps the best Saúl of his career. That's thanks to him and, obviously, to the club for believing in and being able to recapture this player's potential. Everyone knows about his career and the crucial role he played wherever he went , especially at Atlético Madrid. But recapturing the best Saúl was a challenge, and it was up to him," he said before concluding.
" He's at a very high level. I think having a son is always a great motivator . I also didn't expect that after all this effort, waking up at 4 a.m., catching two flights, and playing here for 90 minutes, he would play with such quality. He's a unique player, and we're very lucky to have him here with us," said Filipe Luís.
Saúl was one of the players responsible for the decisive pass that led to the first goal in the victory against Juventude and has been consistently performing in various competitions. According to members of the football department, his dedication to training and his quick adaptation to the club have been key factors in his improved performance.
With Filipe Luís at the helm, Mengão has 50 points in the Brazilian Championship and still has a game in hand . Their next match will be in the Libertadores, against Estudiantes, on Thursday at 9:30 pm at Maracanã.

While acknowledging the magnitude of the quarterfinal match against Estudiantes, the coach emphasized that all his preparation up to that point had been focused on the Brazilian Championship.
"You're right when you say it's the most important game of the year. For me, it is. Given the importance of the Libertadores quarterfinals against Estudiantes. After the incredible season we've had, of course it's the most important game of the year. But honestly, I only prepared for the Juventude game. I did everything thinking about how to beat Juventude," he said before concluding.
"Starting tomorrow, we'll begin studying and working to determine the best solutions to face Estudiantes. They're undoubtedly a formidable opponent, especially since they're one of the Argentine teams that competes so well. We have Central Córdoba in the group stage as an example," said the coach.
With the positive result in Caxias do Sul, Flamengo reached 50 points in the Brasileirão and maintained its sole lead, with a game in hand over second-place Palmeiras. Cruzeiro is in third place and could close the gap in the standings. The match against Estudiantes is scheduled for Thursday at 9:30 pm at Maracanã.
When asked about the offer from Fenerbahçe of Turkey, Filipe Luís said he was flattered by the foreign interest , but emphasized that it wasn't the right time to leave. The coach revealed he was clear about his professional goals and emphasized that he was focused on his current job.

The second goal of the 2-0 victory was scored by Emerson Royal, who scored his first goal for the Manto Sagrado . The full-back celebrated the feat after the match, highlighting the specific training for this type of play.
" Definitely. I've been working hard all week on that play in the second half. I tell Lino to put that ball in the second half. And today, thank God, I was happy with the goal ," said the player.
Despite his chemistry with Samuel Lino, it was Jorge Carrascal who set up Emerson Royal. The Colombian delivered a precise cross, finding the full-back behind the opposing defense to double the lead . The first goal had been scored by Arrascaeta , who reached his 18th goal of the season, tying his personal best.
"He's a player who needs no introduction. We know Arrasca's quality . Any player can make a difference for us. So, a player of his quality is a privilege for us," Royal praised his teammate.
Under Filipe Luís, Flamengo has reached 50 points in the Brazilian Championship and still has a game in hand. Palmeiras is in second place with 46 points and two games remaining, while Cruzeiro has 44 and could close the gap. Flamengo's next match will be in the Copa Libertadores, this Thursday at 9:30 pm, against Estudiantes at Maracanã.
