The columnist Renato Mauricio Prado analyzed on UOL's "Fim de Papo" program that Flamengo has more chances of being champion of the Libertadores than the Brasileirão this year because of the absences that he will have during the Copa América.


Rodrigo Mattos highlighted Pedro's "first level" performance in the victory over Nova Iguaçu, on the way to the Carioca final.


" This midfield will give Flamengo a lot of joy, except in the Copa América. That's why, for me, it's easier for Flamengo to win the Libertadores this year than the Brazilian Championship, because it will have nine rounds with a completely mixed team. You will lose the two full-backs, the entire midfield and perhaps a defender and a center forward", said RMP.


"But it is more unpredictable, right, very difficult to plan the season for the Libertadores. There is a perspective that can do anything happens, even a well-armed team can eventually be eliminated on a bad night. Now I'm going to highlight Pedro, I think he played a great game, not just for the goals. I thought he had a first-class performance today", declared Rodrigo Mattos.

Focus on Libertadores


Before the second match against Nova Iguaçu, Flamengo turns the key to their debut in the Copa Libertadores da América. This is because next Tuesday, the 2nd, Flamengo's debut game in the continental tournament will take place. The duel takes place in Colombian territory, in the city of Bogotá, located more than 2,600 meters above the level of Mar.


The return match against Nova Iguaçu takes place on the 7th.

Although Mirassol has never played at Maracanã , midfielder Gabriel knows the historic stage of Brazilian football well. The number 27 of the São Paulo team defended Flamengo for five years and, this Saturday (09), in the 19th round of the Brasileirão, he will have the opportunity to meet his old home again.


Discovered by Bahia, Gabriel caught the attention of European clubs, but opted to transfer to Flamengo in 2013, the year in which he won the Copa do Brasil . For the Rubro-Negro, he scored 22 goals before going on loan to Sport in 2017, and then to Kashiwa Reysol (JAP).


At Mirassol since 2022, the midfielder was a starter in the team's campaign to gain access to Série A and is in good form : he has six goals and two assists in 25 matches this season, considering the Brasileirão and Campeonato Paulista.


EX-MIRASSOL AT FLAMENGO

On the other side, striker Luiz Araújo reunites with Mirassol, the club where he began his youth career before moving to São Paulo . His subsequent sale to Lille (FRA) earned the São Paulo team millions.


FLAMENGO MOMENT

Flamengo enters this match looking to bounce back this season. In the last round, they drew with Ceará and now share the Brasileirão lead with Cruzeiro. Before that, they defeated Atlético-MG but were eliminated from the Copa do Brasil on penalties.

DATE, TIME AND PLACE

The clash between Flamengo and Mirassol will be this Saturday (8), at Maracanã and will be broadcast live and exclusively by Premiere (pay-per-view), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time). Fans can also keep an eye on Gazeta do Urubu for all the details about the duel for the Brasileirão.
