Flamengo coach, Filipe Luís, highlighted that the team's focus is entirely on Brazilian Championship. In a recent interview, he revealed details of the planning for the final stretch of the season and stated that, despite the limitations in the squad, the team will not be spared for the next clash, against Cruzeiro. Filipe Luís' statement reinforces Flamengo's commitment to the competition, where every point won is essential.
Filipe Luís made it clear that the Brazilian Championship is the top priority right now. "We have a Brasileirão ahead of us, we have to win," said the coach, reinforcing the need to keep the team performing at a high level. Even with the difficulties faced throughout the season, the coach intends to study the next opponent in depth to ensure that Flamengo is prepared for the match against Cruzeiro, which takes place soon. Filipe Luis said:"We have a Brasileirão ahead of us, we have to win. We're going to start studying (the game), the players are going to start resting. Some will need more time, others less. We'll try to make a great I play against Cruzeiro because that's what we have."
COMPETITIONS HURT PERFORMANCE
With several competitions throughout the year, Flamengo has been facing problems of physical wear and tear. Filipe Luís commented that some players will need more recovery time, while others will be ready for the game in a shorter period. This squad management is fundamental, especially at a decisive moment of the season, where the focus is on performance and achieving positive results in the Brasileirão table.
NEXT MATCH
The next game against Cruzeiro is viewed seriously by the coach. Filipe Luís emphasized the importance of “playing a great game” in this match, seeing the confrontation as an opportunity to add points and improve the team's position in the Brazilian Championship. The coach's stance suggests that he is aware of the challenges, but determined not to let the team lower its profile intensity on the field, even with adversity.
One of the points highlighted by the coach was the lack of depth in the squad. Filipe Luís highlighted that "we don't have enough group", an issue that could influence the strategy adopted for the match against Cruzeiro. The lack of spare parts is a challenge, but the coach is confident that the team will be able to maintain a good performance, managing the squad carefully to avoid further wear and tear and injuries.

With a poor performance away from the field, the Argentine team tries to stop Mengão's momentum in the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals

Estudiantes faces Flamengo this Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm, at Maracanã, for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores . The Argentine club arrives under pressure due to irregular results in the season and seeks to rediscover the good football of the beginning of the year to overcome one of the strongest teams in Brazil.
In 2025, the La Plata team played 36 matches, totaling 15 wins, eight draws, and 13 losses, with 42 goals scored and 40 conceded, a success rate of just over 49%. Away from home, the record is even more challenging: in 18 away matches, they have recorded just five wins, four draws, and nine losses.
On the other hand, Flamengo has maintained a solid performance at Maracanã , where they have lost only four times this season, only two of which have come against the main team. This makes the match even more difficult for the Argentine team, which will need to overcome one of the most intense atmospheres on the continent.
While performance away from La Plata is a concern, Estudiantes ' home record is positive. In 17 matches, they've won nine, drawn four, and lost four . This home strength could be an asset in the return leg, but first, the team needs to contain Flamengo 's momentum in Rio de Janeiro.
A traditional Libertadores champion, Estudiantes shares the title with River Plate as the most successful Argentine team in the competition and demonstrates experience in knockout stages. In the current edition, they lost only two matches in the group stage, against Universidad de Chile and Botafogo. In the round of 16, they eliminated Cerro Porteño after a 1-0 away win and a 0-0 draw in the return leg in La Plata.

Flamengo begins its journey towards the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores this Thursday (18) . The first leg against Estudiantes (ARG) will be held at Maracanã, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), and will have a full house.
All tickets were sold in advance, guaranteeing an estimated attendance of around 69,000. The expectation is that the Red-Black Nation will fill every section of the stadium , transforming the Maracanã into a cauldron to push the team toward victory.
The team will have important reinforcements. Striker Bruno Henrique and full-back Varela , who were absent last Sunday (14) against Juventude, in the Brazilian Championship , trained normally this Tuesday (16) and should be available to the coach again.
Despite their returns, Rubro-Negro will remain without midfielder Jorginho, full-back Alex Sandro, and defensive midfielder Pulgar , who are still recovering. The likely lineup for the game includes: Rossi; Royal (Varela), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas (Viña); Saúl, De La Cruz (Allan), Arrascaeta; Plata, Samuel Lino, and Pedro.
Fans will be able to watch the match live on ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming). The second leg will be held next week in La Plata, Argentina, and will determine who advances to the semifinals.
