After beating Bahia 1-0 last Saturday (10), at Maracanã , in the eighth round of the Brazilian Championship , Flamengo's squad had a day off on Sunday (11) and will return this Monday (12), at Ninho do Urubu. The focus now is totally on preparing for the decisive duel against LDU , for the Libertadores .
The reappearance is scheduled for this Monday morning, when coach Filipe Luís will begin work aiming at the match on Thursday (15), also at Maracanã, valid for the fifth round of the group stage of the continental competition.
The winning goal against Bahia was scored just seven minutes into the first half . Michael crossed from the left and Arrascaeta appeared free in the area to head the ball in and secure the three points for Rubro-Negro. With the result, Mengão moved up to second place in the Brasileirão , behind only leaders Palmeiras .
Now, Flamengo needs to beat LDU to keep alive its chances of qualifying for the round of 16 of the Libertadores. The team currently occupies third place in Group C, with five points. The Ecuadorian team leads the group with eight, the same number as Central Córdoba (ARG), but with an advantage in goal difference.
The match is scheduled for Thursday (15), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã . The victory is essential for Rubro-Negro to continue fighting for a place in the knockout stages of the competition . A triumph with more than one goal could be vital for Flamengo's intentions due to the goal difference tiebreaker criterion.
Leila Pereira, the representative of the Alviverde club, shows her discomfort with Mengão's management after the blocking of TV funds with Globo, obtained in court.

The crisis between Flamengo and Libra gained a new episode this Tuesday (30). Palmeiras president Leila Pereira harshly criticized the Rio de Janeiro club's stance and even suggested the creation of a new league that would not include the team with the largest fan base in the country. " My suggestion would be to create another league excluding Flamengo . I think Flamengo has to play alone," Leila stated in an interview with Esporte Record.
Leila Pereira, president of Flamengo: "I think Flamengo has to play alone"
The director mocked the possibility of the Red-Black team playing without rivals: "Palmeiras doesn't play alone, Flamengo doesn't play alone. Only if they want to play against their U-20 team. I want to see the viewership they'll get ," she teased. For Leila, Flamengo's attitude doesn't strengthen Brazilian football. "Managers with this mentality don't enhance our product at all," she concluded.
The trigger for the dispute was Flamengo 's decision to appeal to the Rio de Janeiro courts to prevent Rede Globo from transferring R$77 million to Libra clubs, relating to the audience clause in the Brasileirão broadcast contract .
According to Rubro-Negro, the revenue distribution model, especially the 30% linked to the audience , is unfair and could generate losses exceeding R$100 million per season compared to the agreement valid until 2024.
In an official statement, the club stated that it sought dialogue but encountered "intransigence" from the other members of Libra. The board, now led by Luiz Eduardo Baptista (BAP), argues that legal action is necessary to ensure that " the history and value of each club are recognized in a fair and balanced manner ." The Rio de Janeiro Court of Justice's decision even blocked the portion allocated to Flamengo itself, which generated a strong backlash behind the scenes.
In addition to Palmeiras, São Paulo and Atlético-MG also openly criticized Flamengo's move, calling it detrimental to Brazilian football . Libra itself released an official statement condemning the move and vowed to fight in court to maintain its current contract.
