Flamengo is preparing for one of the most important clashes of the season this Thursday (26), when they will face Peñarol in the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. The match, scheduled for 7pm (Brasília time), will be held at the Campeón del Siglo Stadium, in Montevideo. After losing the first game 1-0, Rubro-Negro needs a victory by two goals to guarantee direct classification. In the event of a tie on the aggregate score, the place will be decided on penalties.
One of the most anticipated points for the match is the possible return of Léo Ortiz to the starting lineup. The player, who has been improvised as a midfielder, trained among the starters and should occupy the role of a classic '5' shirt, playing alongside De La Cruz in midfield. Ortiz, who is originally a defender, has stood out as a midfielder and has established himself as a fundamental player in the second half of the season.
In the first match against Peñarol, Ortiz started on the bench by decision of coach Tite, but this time he should have the chance to start among the 11, reinforcing the team in a decisive duel for Mengão's aspirations in the continental tournament.
A The expectation is that CRF enter the field with: Rossi, Varela, Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro, Léo Ortiz, De La Cruz, Arrascaeta, Gerson, Bruno Henrique and Plata. This formation, led by Tite, aims to increase the team's offensive strength and overcome Peñarol's solid defense, which secured the advantage in the first match.

Flamengo closed the last transfer window with four reinforcements, Carlos Alcaraz, Michael, Gonzalo Plata and Alex Sandro. Before signing with Mais Querido, the left-back was scouted by other Brazilian teams, including São Paulo. Muricy Ramalho, the club's football director, stated that it is very difficult to compete with Rubro-Negro.
“We tried Alex Sandro, who was my player, we spoke to him. But what happens is that when it comes to money, you get scared. Thank you, but it doesn't work. It's very difficult, we don't have money, the guys ask for I don't know how many millions. Botafogo hired a guy for R$50 million, that doesn't exist. Alex Sandro went to Flamengo because the offer was very high, we didn't have any money”, revealed Muricy.
It's worth remembering that before moving to Europe, and making history at Juventus, Alex Sandro stood out for Santos, where he was champion of the Libertadores, with Neymar, Danilo, Ganso and company under the command of Muricy Ramalho.
Like this , with Alex Sandro available, Flamengo continues preparing for the decisive match against Peñarol, in the quarter-finals of the Libertadores. The return match will be played this Thursday (26th), at 7pm, in Montevideo.
