The victory over Palmeiras last Wednesday (8), left the Rubro Negro fan with hope once again, as Flamengo has a chance of becoming champion of the Brazilian Championship. Grêmio, Botafogo, Red Bull Bragantino and Alviverde themselves are also still alive in the fight. However, journalist Juca Kfouri surprised by mentioning São Paulo as an opponent for Mais Querido to worry about.
The team led by Dorival Júnior is in ninth place in the league table, four positions behind Flamengo. However, for Juca, the tricolor could be a "stone in the side" of Rubro Negro. For him, the former Mais Querido commander's thirst for "revenge" could frustrate the title.
“It seems to me that the most difficult game that Flamengo will face will be exactly the last one, against São Paulo . Because if Flamengo arrives at this game with a chance of being champions, it is the ideal dish for Dorival Júnior. Imagine him commanding São Paulo at Morumbi, certainly full, against a Flamengo team that could be champions. And he has the possibility of commanding his team and taking the title”, said Juca Kfouri.
However, for journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira, also a participant in the program "Posse de Bola", he disagrees with Juca. He says he remembers the final of the Copa do Brasil, and states that it will be a different scenario with coach Tite. It's worth remembering that Rubro Negro was tricolor's vice-president.
“But it's another reality, right?! It's Tite's Flamengo. It's not Sampaoli's Flamengo. Which includes that attack he launched at Maracanã, with Matheus Cunha in goal. There's no Sampaoli to help Dorival Júnior, that's another matter. Unless Flamengo gets there weakening and tripping over its own legs”, replied Mauro.
PATH TO THE POSSIBLE TITLEFlamengo will have six more matches on the way. Rubro Negro enters the field this Saturday (11) to face Fluminense, in the 34th round of the Brasileirão. After the FIFA Data break, Mais Querido will face Red Bull Bragantino, in the 32nd round, as it had been postponed. The last clash will be against São Paulo, at Morumbi, on December 6th.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

Tite defined Flamengo and announced the 11 starters who will face Peñarol, this Thursday, at Maracanã, at 7pm. De la Cruz returns to the starting lineup in place of Léo Ortiz, and Alex Sandro and Plata were retained. The duel with the Uruguayans is the first between the teams in the quarter-finals of the Copa Conmebol Libertadores.
Alex Sandro and Plata, debutants in last Sunday's classic, remain in the team after having good performances in the draw against Vasco. Gabigol is now out of the relationship due to fibrosis in the posterior muscle of his right thigh. Flamengo, in a statement, reported that the athlete did not suffer any injury in the region. Check it out:
"The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo informs that the athlete Gabriel Barbosa underwent tests that did not diagnose an injury to the posterior muscle of his right thigh. However, the Technical Committee opted for precaution and did not list him for the duel against Peñarol due to fibrosis in the region. Gabi is handed over to physiotherapists and physical trainers for the series of decisive games of the season."
Match starts at 7pm this Thursday
