With 54 points, the Flamengo currently occupies fourth place in the Brazilian Championship, maintaining a distance of 10 points behind leader Botafogo. Although the Brasileirão is still open, the chances of winning the title are reduced, making the Copa do Brasil the club's main priority. The decision against Atlético-MG is the main focus of Rubro-Negro, who will, however, have one last challenge before the final: the delayed game against Internacional, scheduled for Wednesday, at 7pm (Brasília time), at the Beira-Rio stadium.
The coaching staff opted to give the players a day of rest after the intense sequence of games. This Sunday, the squad received a day off and returns to training on Monday, at CT Ninho do Urubu. This planning aims to prepare the team in the best way for the confrontation with Internacional and, especially, for the big decision of the Copa do Brasil. The intention is to have the entire group in good physical condition and mentally focused.
FLAMENGO SEES THE TITLE AWAY
The duel against Internacional is seen as an opportunity to adjust the last details and maintain the competitive rhythm. Filipe Luis' team intends to use the match as a test for the final, without giving up on winning the three points, which are important in the Brasileirão table. With a qualified squad, the expectation is that the coach will take the opportunity to test alternatives and preserve more worn-out players.
PRIORITY FOR COPA DO BRASIL
On the other hand, Internacional is also going through a crucial moment in the season and promises to make it difficult for the Flemish. Playing at home and in front of their fans, Colorado tries to take advantage of the opportunity to score points and consolidate itself in the competition. Flamengo needs to pay attentionand seek a solid performance to come out with a good result, without losing the main focus: the decision against Atlético-MG.
The Copa do Brasil, in turn, is seen as an opportunity to end the year in a good way positive. The club is looking for another title to add to its collection and knows that a victory in the competition can give the season a successful outcome. Therefore, planning for the next few days is essential, including specific training, tactical work and care for the players' physical recovery.

Despite his short career as a professional coach, Filipe Luís continues to attract attention from around the world for his work at Flamengo. Last week, Fenerbahçe (TUR) attempted to sign him , but both the Rio de Janeiro club and the manager rejected the offer .
José Boto on Fenerbahçe's proposal for Flamengo's Filipe Luís: "this is not a bank"
In an interview with UOL, football director José Boto revealed the behind-the-scenes story behind the Turkish move: "Last week, he had the option of leaving the club. I know this because the president of Fenerbahçe called me asking how much money Flamengo wanted to release Filipe Luís . I replied that this isn't a bank. We had no intention of selling him. The club even offered more than the contractual fine, but he didn't want to go. He didn't want to abandon this project."
With negotiations unsuccessful, Fenerbahçe looked at other options. After José Mourinho's departure on August 29, the Turkish club explored several options, including Filipe Luís , but ultimately agreed on Domenico Tedesco last week . Thus, the red-and-black fans can breathe a sigh of relief at the prospect of a new European push.
Filipe Luís is about to complete a year in charge of Flamengo . The coach took over the team on September 30, 2024, after Tite's dismissal, and has since collected titles: Copa do Brasil, Campeonato Carioca, and Supercopa do Brasil . The coach has played 65 games, with 43 wins, 16 draws, and only six losses, consolidating one of the club's most consistent campaigns in recent years.
Flamengo, under the command of Filipe Luís, begins this Thursday (18) the dispute of the quarterfinals of the Libertadores against Estudiantes (ARG) . The match takes place at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, with broadcast by ESPN (closed TV) and Disney+ (streaming).
