Abel Braga on Flamengo and Internacional: "neither is at its best"
"It's an extremely close game. Flamengo hasn't been able to maintain a winning streak of four, five, or six wins . They're also coming off an elimination. Inter, which wasn't doing well, managed three or four 1-0 wins and made a significant leap forward. It has all the makings of a great game, but the truth is that neither team is at their best," Abel analyzed in an interview with GE.
The coach also highlighted the strengths of each team: "I hope it's a great game. Both Flamengo and Inter have the squads to put on a great show. Flamengo, with their usual high-pressing . Inter, with their surprising passing from one side to the other, especially with Wesley. It's hard to imagine Flamengo man-marking Alan Patrick," he concluded.
Under Filipe Luís, Flamengo was eliminated from the Copa do Brasil, but remains the undisputed leader of the Brasileirão, despite having played a game less . In its last ten games, the team has six wins, one draw, and three losses. Internacional, meanwhile, has won four, drawn two, and lost four in the same period. The pressure on coach Roger Machado is mounting at the Rio Grande do Sul club.
The clash between Flamengo and Internacional takes place this Wednesday (13), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã , for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores. The decisive duel will be on August 20, at Beira-Rio. The match will be broadcast by Globo, ESPN and Disney+.
