0The elimination of the Libertadores last Thursday (26) shook the structures of Flamengo. Now, the squad is trying to overcome the atmosphere of discouragement that took hold behind the scenes before the matches against Athletico-PR, in the Brasileirão, and Corinthians, in the Copa do Brasil.
The team's re-presentation on Friday (27), after the fall in Uruguay, it occurred amid “silence”. According to information from ‘Coluna do Fla’, the players barely spoke to each other upon returning to the CT. Thus, the feeling of disappointment dominated the activities, both of the regenerating starters and the reserves on the field.
Tite and his coaching staff are now looking to regain the squad's focus for the remainder of the season. Flamengo has two games scheduled in less than seven days after elimination. Rubro-Negro will face Athletico-PR this Sunday (29), in the 28th round of the Brasileirão, and Corinthians on Wednesday (02), in the semi-final of the Copa do Brasil.
Resumption in the Brasileirão and in the Copa do BrasilWith 45 points and in fourth place, Flamengo hasn't won in three rounds in the Brasileirão and sees the distance to leader Botafogo increase to 12 points. Therefore, this Sunday's match (29) is crucial for Tite's aspirations in the competition.
In the “eye of the storm”, the game against Athletico -PR will be Flamengo's first after their elimination in the Libertadores. The match is scheduled for 8pm (Brasília time) this Sunday (29), at Maracanã.
