Flamengo leads the group of clubs that win the Copa América
|
0Flamengo remains firmly in the lead of the Brazilian Championship, despite facing great challenges. In the last three rounds, Rubro-Negro scored seven points out of a possible nine, even without counting Uruguayans Arrascaeta, Viña, Varela and De la Cruz, and Chilean Pulgar, all called up for the Copa América.
With a performance of 77.7% in this period, Flamengo is ahead of Botafogo, Cruzeiro and Vitória, losing only to Palmeiras, who achieved 100% success in the last three matches. Tite's team managed to maintain the lead they took in the last match in which they featured the quintet of stars, after a historic 6-1 rout over Vasco.
FLAMENGO HAS ENVYABLE CAMPAIGN
Since then, the mixed team of Flamengoadded the same seven points that rival Vasco has achieved in the entire championship so far, and surpassed the campaign of bottom team Fluminense. Even with a missing squad, Flamengo didn't lose pace. In the last three games, the team showed resilience, overcoming adversities such as injuries and suspensions, and achieved important results with goals in stoppage time against Athletico-PR (1-1) and Bahia (2-1).
Flamengo's success during this period can be attributed to the depth of its squad, the most expensive in Brazilian football. Players like David Luiz, who is enjoying a top-scoring season, have been fundamental. This ability to maintain performance even with absences is crucial, especially as the Copa América has just begun and the Brasileirão has not stopped, which puts Flamengo in a challenging situation.
