The Copa do Brasil began in 1989, and Flamengo won it for the first time in 1990. That is, in the third edition of the national tournament. In general, Mais Querido's debuts are good and the club maintains a good percentage. In the last 20 years, from 2004 to now, the numbers have dropped slightly to 64%. But the complete history shows that the success in debuts in the competition is 69%.


Flamengo can improve these numbers on Wednesday night (1st), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), receiving the Amazonas in the third phase of the Copa do Brasil. But he will have to do better than last year. Despite advancing after beating Maringá at Maracanã 8-2, the away leg saw the opposing club win 2-0.


In addition, there were 51 goals in 27 games. In other words, almost double the number of matches. There were 23 goals conceded, a lower number than the number of matches, which is positive and leaves the balance acceptable. The 69% success rate includes Flamengo's 16 wins, two defeats and nine draws.


Apart from Maringá, only Coritiba and Confiança surpassed Mais Querido in the team's debut in the tournament. In recent years, Mengão won from 2018 until 2022, before losing to Maringá.

In addition to Léo Ortiz , other players are available again for Filipe Luís , including Varela and Bruno Henrique, who were rested against Juventude. Alex Sandro and Jorginho, on the other hand, remain doubtful and will have their fitness assessed shortly before the match.

Flamengo takes to the field this Thursday (18) , at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), to face Estudiantes at Maracanã for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. In addition to the weight of the confrontation, coach Filipe Luís needs to manage an extra concern: right-back Guillermo Varela is suspended and could become an important absence for the return leg , scheduled for September 25, at Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium, in La Plata.


After resting some starters over the weekend, Filipe Luís will have reinforcements for the match. Varela, Bruno Henrique, and Léo Ortiz return after absences against Juventude , increasing the team's strength. Meanwhile, Alex Sandro and Jorginho are doubtful and will have their fitness assessed hours before the game.
