Even at altitude, Flamengo arrives with little room for error to face LDU

The location of the game itself is always an obstacle and Ecuadorians in these conditions gain a higher level of demand for what Fla did not do against Cordoba

Flamengo arrives in Quito for tomorrow's Libertadores clash against LDU with a task that is not easy. The altitude, in itself, is always an obstacle. But facing the Ecuadorians in these conditions becomes even more demanding precisely because of what Filipe Luís's team (didn't) do at home.

The margin of error is reduced due to the surprising defeat to Central Córdoba. It was one of the worst performances under Filipe Luís. That's why Fla stopped at three points, while the Argentine team itself and LDU went to four in the last round. Depending on what happens this week, the opponents could already take off, creating a difference in points that may not be overcome in just one round.

In the math for classification, Flamengo needs to reverse "logical" results in this group stage to compensate for the defeat at home. The duel at altitude is one of them. Thank goodness there are still two games left at Maracanã, one of them is precisely against LDU and the other is against Deportivo Táchira.

NEED TO MAINTAIN THE STANDARD

We will try to play a solid game on the defensive side, control the ball as much as possible to win a great game.

The oscillation of the attack in recent games raises the alarm and generates a need for the team to respond in the midst of difficulties like tomorrow's.

"I want the team to speak on the field. It's not easy to play at altitude, it's difficult to press high up because they lose their breath quickly and don't recover. That's the problem, the full-back goes up and can't get back up like he does at sea level. The player needs to better manage his effort to be able to perform . We're going to try to play a solid game defensively, control the ball as much as possible to win a great game . Filipe Luís", Flamengo coach

WHO WILL NOT PLAY

Flamengo already knows that they will face LDU with a significant change in midfield. De La Cruz didn't even travel.
