With qualification to the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil, Flamengo fulfills a goal for the season and gives peace of mind to its fans. Rubro-Negro seeks to take another step and confirm its trip to the knockout stages of the Libertadores. At Maracanã, Tite's team will have the chance to reverse the bad image of their below-average performance against Amazonas. Mais Querido aims to lead Group E, while Millonarios is already eliminated from the tournament and has no chance of qualifying for the South American Championship.
One of the biggest doubts in the squad is the presence of De La Cruz, who has been a kind of engine in Flamengo's midfield. The midfielder suffered a trauma to his right knee and will be re-evaluated in Rio de Janeiro.
In a press conference, Tite did not rule out the Uruguayan's presence in the Libertadores match, but he was also unable to guarantee the number 18's presence. Despite the "decision" next week, the player also dreams of being healthy for the Copa América dispute with Celeste.
"De la Cruz's problem is not physical. It is medical, clinical. It was a trauma, an impact, and already at half-time he was feeling it. In the second half he asked to leave because he could no longer develop. He made the signal to me, as a substitute. our role, physiology department, physiology, and in his clinical case of recovery to have him in the next game", he said.
Given this scenario, Tite has other options in the squad if De La Cruz is not an option, such as Igor Jesus, who started well and was decisive in Flamengo's victory over Amazonas. But also Lorran, who was highly praised in recent weeks, which would result in a decline in Gerson's position. With no clashes for the Brasileirão over the weekend, Rubro-Negro has a full week of work to respond. And, who knows, end the Libertadores group stage with high morale and leave rivals in fear.

This Wednesday (26), the Flamengo will take to the field against Juventude at 8pm, at Alfredo Jaconi, for the 12th round of the Brazilian Championship. The clash promises to be challenging not only due to the opponent, but also due to the adverse weather conditions predicted for the day of the game. According to the website "Clima Tempo", the weather forecast for Wednesday indicates heavy rain throughout the day in Caxias do Sul. The probability of precipitation is high, with an 86% chance, and an accumulated rainfall of 30mm. Temperatures will be between 10°C and 13°C, adding an extra challenge for the teams on the field.
Flamengo has already faced similar situations in Caxias do Sul. The region's climate can be a decisive factor, influencing not only the state of the pitch, but also the dynamics of the game. In the last matches held at Alfredo Jaconi, the weather conditions were not favorable for the Rio team, which needs to prepare for a heavy and possibly slippery game scenario.
FLAMENGO GOES AFTER VICTORY
Preparation for this game should also consider recent weather events in the region. Last Monday (24), it rained hail in Bento Gonçalves, a city close to Caxias do Sul, in Serra Gaúcha. This phenomenon highlights the climate instability that can directly affect team performance and player safety.
For Flamengo, playing in adverse conditions can be a significant test for the team. Heavy rain can make it difficult to move the ball and execute the strategies planned by the coach. Furthermore, the low temperature can influence the physical resistance of players, especially those less accustomed to the colder climate in the south of the country.

In recent games, David Luiz not only did well his role in the defense as well as taking on the responsibility of leading the team. His vision of the game and ability to organize the defensive line have been fundamental for Flamengo to maintain defensive consistency. Furthermore, his competitive spirit and determination are clear examples of professionalism for younger players.
Despite his age, David Luiz has demonstrated impressive physical shape. Participating in five complete games in a short period requires exemplary physical preparation. Even in the duel against Fluminense, where he needed to be replaced, the defender showed willingness and commitment until the moment the pain in his knee became unbearable.
