The Flamengo met its opponent in the round of 16 of the Libertadores last Monday (3). In this way, the Mais Querido will have to face Bolívar (BOL) again and will have to decide the classification away from home, at an altitude of more than 3000 meters above sea level. Flavio Robatto, coach of the Bolivian team, said that Rubro-Negro is the worst possible opponent in the round of 16, among the options available in the draw.

"It's the toughest rival we could face, the toughest team of the competition. (Maracanã) is an imposing, difficult scenario, but we have to focus on football, putting together the best strategy and preparation for this game and the return game in La Paz", said Robatto, in an interview with the Bolivian press.

"No (see it as a revenge after the 4-0 at Maracanã). We also beat them, we were first in the group, but they are the biggest team in the competition. It will be a very tough match, but we are going with a lot of faith, a lot Ghana, hoping that there are no injuries to the players who are in the selection", added the coach.

CHAMPIONSHIP IN BOLIVAR IS PARALYZED

O Mais Querido may have an "advantage" over Bolívar in the round of 16 duels. This is because the Bolivian championship will not be played during the Copa América. Furthermore, the opposing team had ten athletes called up to represent Bolivia. 

BRASILEIRÃO WILL NOT STOP

Unlike the Bolivian Championship, the Brasileirão will not stop during the Copa América dispute. Therefore, Flamengo and the other 18 teams in the competition will have to face each other even when they are missing. Mais Querido faces Grêmio next Thursday (13), in the eighth round of the competition.
