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.

MEDICAL EVALUATION

However, tests carried out on Monday ruled out any medical concerns , and Arrascaeta is available to the coaching staff for the match against Atlético-MG, on Wednesday (6).

Internally, the news was received enthusiastically, particularly given the tactical importance the midfielder represents to the team's attacking system . If he's fully fit by game day, Arrascaeta is likely to start.


CLASSIFICATION SCENARIOS

After a 1-0 defeat in the first leg at Maracanã, Flamengo needs to win by two goals to secure a direct spot in the quarterfinals. If Flamengo wins by one goal, the match will go to penalties . A draw or another defeat in Belo Horizonte will result in Flamengo 's elimination from the competition.
