Three-time champion of the competition, with two victories in the last five years, Flamengo was not satisfied with the group assigned to the first phase of the 2024 Libertadores. At least that was the opinion expressed by the club's president, Rodolfo Landim, who admitted that he preferred other combinations that could have been made.
“As it is balanced, it is difficult for us to say. But like that, there are groups there that we would prefer to be in”, began the representative, before continuing: “Never mind. I have already commented that playing at altitude is a problem for all Brazilian clubs. Historically it is a problem. And the very complicated logistics are also a problem, right? So just see who ended up taking lower altitudes or at sea level, it would be better. But we can't choose, we'll play wherever we have to play. We have to play well and that's it.”
Altitude is the manager's main concern, since the team will face two challenges in places elevated in relation to sea level. The clashes against Millonarios, from Colombia, and Bolívar already generate apprehension, but Landim also highlighted the 2019 campaign to reinforce confidence in the club's potential.
“In 2019, for example, it would be difficult for anyone to point to Flamengo as the favorite, and we ended up winning. So it's difficult, because the clubs that participate are receiving large investments, we see what has been happening with the SAFs spread across Latin America. It's difficult to point out a favorite at this moment. It's a very complicated competition, where logistics are complicated, there are games at altitude, the classification in the group stage is also important, because it influences the round-trip game afterwards. So, I would say today that I don't see any big favorites”, he added.
The Libertadores group stage will start on April 2nd, with Mengão facing Millonarios away from home at the time. The commitment will take place in the middle of the week between the two finals of the Campeonato Carioca, which will be played against Nova Iguaçu.

Club seeks internal solutions for attack

After suffering a serious injury to his left knee, Flamengo striker Pedro is out of the 2024 season and only should return to the pitch in 2025. With the absence of number 9, Flamengo's board decided not to make major investments in the transfer market and opted to look for solutions within the squad itself. The main name chosen to replace Pedro is Gabigol, the club's idol, despite being in a less prestigious phase.
Even though he is experiencing a moment of lesser protagonism, Gabigol is seen as the main option to take the place of Pedro. Pedro. With decisive goals in the 2019, 2021 and 2022 Libertadores finals, Gabigol is still a reference for the red and black attack. The curious thing is that all the goals scored by Flamengo in the last three finals of the continental tournament went to number 99, consolidating his historical importance at the club.
Despite this, the striker lost space in the current season under coach Tite's command. So far, Gabigol has started just three matches, scoring four goals and one assist. However, he appeared in 21 games, which indicates his constant presence in the coach's options.
In addition to Gabigol, Flamengo has Bruno Henrique, who has already played as a center forward, and Carlinhos, a young promise from the base, as alternatives to make up for Pedro's absence. The club's bet is not to do "financial madness", focusing on making the most of the players who are already part of the squad.
Without Pedro, Flamengo returns to the field on September 12th to face Bahia, in a match valid for the quarterfinals of the Brazilian Cup. Rubro-Negro has the advantage of the first clash, having won 1-0 at Arena Fonte Nova. Now, the team only needs a draw at Maracanã to guarantee their place in the tournament's semi-finals.
