Flamengo returns to the field this Thursday (15), in a match against LDU, valid for the fifth round of the group stage of the Libertadores. Thus, goalkeeper Gonzalo Valle spoke about the expectation to face the Mais Querido. The goalkeeper also highlights that the squad treats the match as a 'final.
I have no doubt that it will be a great game...
" For us, it's also a decisive game. The result of Central Córdoba against Táchira yesterday forces both teams to go after the result. Obviously, we know the quality of Flamengo, of the players, and they have a long squad , if they're not the starters, they're the reserves, " he said, before concluding:
" Flamengo has a very large squad, with a lot of value and great technique. Even in the match we played in Quito, they made things very difficult for us, and that's why they managed to draw 0-0. Tomorrow, I have no doubt that it will be a great game and for us we will treat it like a final ", concluded Gonzalo Valle.
Flamengo is also treating the match against LDU as a final. In third place in group C with 15 points, the Mais Querido could be eliminated from the Libertadores in this round. This is because, in case of defeat to the Ecuadorian team, the Rubro-Negro will be mathematically out of the competition, since it will have only accumulated five points.
Now, Flamengo remains focused on the next commitment of the season. The Mais Querido returns to the field this Thursday (15), in a clash against LDU, valid for the fifth round of the group stage of the Libertadores, at 9:30 pm, at Maracanã.

The duel between Bahia and Flamengo, this Sunday (5), at 6:30 pm, for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship, promises to be a real test for the resistance of the squads. While Rubro-Negro will have mandatory changes in defense , Tricolor de Aço may face an even more dramatic scenario, with up to 13 absences.
Coach Filipe Luís has already confirmed two absences: Alex Sandro and Léo Pereira . Both received their third yellow cards in the draw against Cruzeiro and are serving automatic suspensions. The pair's absence forces the coach to redesign his defensive system in a match considered crucial in the battle for the top spot.
If Flamengo 's mission is to reorganize its defense, Rogério Ceni's is practically a puzzle . Bahia could have 13 players unavailable due to suspensions and a busy medical department.
Among those suspended are Luciano Juba , who was injured and also received a card, as well as Santiago Arias, Rodrigo Nestor, and Gabriel Xavier , all for accumulated cards. Striker Mateo Sanabria, sent off against Botafogo, is also out. Defender Ramos Mingo left the field injured in the last round.
The Tricolor's medical department remains overwhelmed. Seven athletes remain in recovery, with no return date scheduled before the next FIFA World Cup. Among them are big names like Kanu, Caio Alexandre, and João Paulo . The only case closer to a return is defender David Duarte, who is in transition but has not yet fully trained with the group.
Tickets for the clash between the teams at Arena Fonte Nova are now on sale; more than 40,000 fans confirmed before the general opening.
