Next Sunday, the classic between Flamengo and Vasco promises to be marked by an atmosphere of fierce rivalry even before the opening whistle. Red and black fans have already started the provocations, distributing more than 15 thousand images that allude to the 6-1 defeat inflicted on the Cruz-Maltino team in the first round of the Brazilian Championship. The action is a clear attempt to stir the spirits of Vasco fans and increase even more tension for the clash that will take place at 6:30 pm at Maracanã.
This type of provocation is common in classics, especially in Rio de Janeiro football, where the rivalry between the big clubs is historic and goes beyond the four lines. The 6-1 in the first round was one of the most memorable moments for the Flamengo fans this season, while for Vasco, it represented one of the lowest points in the competition, reinforcing the abyss that has separated the two teams in recent years.
FLAMENGO HAS ITS PLAYERS MOTIVATED FOR THE CLASSIC
O Flamengo arrives for the match with a star-studded squad and with a good chance of consolidating its position in the G4, the direct classification zone for the Libertadores. Furthermore, the red and black team is in a good phase, supported by a series of positive results. Vasco, which is going through a period of reconstruction, is looking to move away from the relegation zone and sees the classic as an opportunity for redemption, especially after the humiliation suffered in the first round.
The provocation of Flamengo fans , with the distribution of images on the elastic scoreboard, can have varied effects. On the one hand, it is an extra stimulus for Flamengo fans, who want to see the team repeat the good performance of the first round. On the other hand, it is a pressure factor for the Vasco fans, who are looking for a positive result to alleviate the internal crisis and calm the fans, who have shown impatience with the team.
The recent history between the two teams favors Flamengo, which has accumulated victories and achievements in recent years, while Vasco has struggled to recover after irregular campaigns and falls to Série B. However, in classics, emotional balance can make all the difference. Flamengo may be technically superior, but Vasco will enter the field with the extra motivation of seeking a revenge.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

Last Sunday (15), Flamengo and Vasco drew 1-1, at Maracanã, in a match valid for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. The result, although frustrating for the red and blacks, who dominated much of the match, kept them eight points behind leader Botafogo.
Mais Querido entered the field imposing his pace and controlling the actions for most of the game. The red-black goal was scored by Gerson, who has been standing out in recent matches. However, CRF conceded the draw in the final minutes, which prevented a more significant approach to the classification table.
Even with the difference in points for Botafogo, the technical committee, led by Tite, devised a strategy focused on keeping the team competitive until the last rounds. According to information from the Coluna do Fla portal, the objective is to arrive "alive" in the fight for the title in the final five rounds. Matheus Bachi, assistant coach, believes that the recent good performance against Bahia and Vasco could be an indication that the team is on the right track to fight for the top again.
While trying to get closer to the leaders in the Brasileirão, Mengão is already preparing for the next challenge in the Libertadores. The team will face Peñarol, at Maracanã, in the quarterfinals of the continental tournament. The Rio team is looking for a good result at home before traveling to Uruguay for the second leg next week.
