With the Brasileirão advancing and coming close to the end of the first round, Flamengo's good moment becomes increasingly important. This, mainly with the aim of remaining in the lead. But one of the next games will undergo important changes due to television.
The Globo channel on closed TV, Sportv, has already dropped the hammer and Flamengo's game against Cuiabá, on Saturday (6) will be advanced from 9pm to 8pm (Brasília time), so as not to conflict with the time of Brazil x Uruguay, which takes place at 10pm on the same day.
The game between Flamengo and Cuiabá, therefore, will have its own time changed due to the Copa América, a competition that, once again, harms Mais Querido. This is because ticket sales had already started, and the time change could harm the club, which would need to give fans the option of refunds.
The change will be confirmed later this Wednesday (3) . The change was published, and Rubro-Negro will play two hours before the start of their match.
Stars can return after Flamengo x Cuiabá
At least the game between Brazil and Uruguay will have significant importance for the Nation. Fans will certainly follow the unfolding of the Brazilian team's game. Not for patriotism, but to have their stars back.
That's because De La Cruz and Arrascaeta, Flamengo's main players, serve the Uruguayan team in the Copa América. Full-backs Viña and Varela also play for the national team. The sooner Uruguay falls, the sooner Flamengo will have its players back.
The Copa América grand final takes place on July 14th, and Mengo would lose its athletes for even more games. Therefore, everything depends on the Brazilian team doing its part with Vinícius Júnior, Lucas Paquetá and Co. to get back to its stars.
Erick Pulgar, for example, fell with Chile in the group stage and has already returned to training at Flamengo. He is available to Tite to play against Atlético-MG, away from home. The audience for the Uruguay match, therefore, will be high, with the Rubro-Negra Nation drying out the Uruguayans and the rest of Brazil rooting for the Seleção.
Rubro-negro still faces Atlético-MG< With the national teams playing on Saturday night, it is certain that Mengão still has two games left with absences. First, the team faces Atlético-MG, away from home, on Wednesday night (3), at 9:30 pm. The mission is to continue leading and maintain the good phase.
The game against Cuiabá, therefore, could be the last without its players. With Brazil advancing, Uruguay's Flamengo quartet would be available to play against Fortaleza, on Wednesday (11), at 8pm.
The Argentine team begins training at Fluminense's training center and should play more defensively at Maracanã against Mengão this Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm

Estudiantes is already in Rio de Janeiro for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals against Flamengo , scheduled for Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. The Argentine team trained at Fluminense's facilities , preparing for the decisive duel.
Coach Eduardo Domínguez tested a more conservative formation, including an extra defensive midfielder in midfield, as a strategy to contain Flamengo's attacks. According to Radio Província 1270 in La Plata, the change could result in only one striker on the field , demonstrating a more solid defensive posture.
Estudiantes ' likely lineup for the clash includes: Muslera; Gómez, Nuñez, Rodríguez, Arzamendia; Ascacibar, Piovi, Amondarain, Medina, Tiago Palacios; Carrillo.
It's not yet clear whether Piovi will play as an extra midfielder or be replaced by Castro . Amondarain, despite being an attacking midfielder, could drop back and act as a third midfielder, depending on Domínguez's strategy in recent training sessions.
With the prospect of a more closed Argentine team, Flamengo, under the command of Filipe Luís, will have to work hard to break down Estudiantes' defense and seek a positive result in the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals.

Up front, Bruno Henrique is recovered and available to play, expanding coach Filipe Luís's offensive options. Plata and Luiz Araújo are also options at wing. Léo Ortiz returns to the defensive system after missing the match against Juventude.
A possible Flamengo lineup for Thursday has: Rossi; Emerson Royal (or Varela), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas (or Viña); Allan (or De La Cruz), Saúl and Arrascaeta; Plata, Pedro (or Bruno Henrique) and Samuel Lino.
According to information gathered, the club's coaching staff is likely to opt for midfielder Jorginho, who is recovering from a muscle edema. Although he is fit to play, the club does not want to risk losing him for an extended period.
Without Jorginho, coach Filipe Luís is evaluating the best alternatives for the position. De La Cruz and Saúl are the main candidates to form a partnership with Saúl in midfield . The coach will lead the final training session before the match on Wednesday (17) to determine his replacement.
Another confirmed absence is left-back Alex Sandro, who is nursing a calf injury and will be unfit to play. Ayrton Lucas and Matías Viña are competing for the starting spot on the left wing.
