The Flamengo has faced a series of injuries to its athletes in recent months, which has hampered the team's performance on the field. The greatest idol in red-black history, Zico commented on the period and made an unusual suggestion for Mais Querido to get rid of the crisis: ask the team's patron saint for help.

"We have to find out the reason, why there are so many injuries at Flamengo, mainly muscle problems. Having a knee, ankle or injury problem is one thing. But almost the same injury for many people is worrying. I hope it doesn't happen to others. It's time to get ready. It doesn't hurt to pay a visit to São Judas Tadeu. It helps, cleans up", said Zico.


"People have to believe that the energies outside the field are very heavy. You have to know how to overcome this. It wouldn't hurt to ask for blessings. With confidence, with faith to help in other situations. People are losing faith in this sense. NASA needs to study this case (laughs)", concluded Galinho.

FLAMENGO DEFAULTS

O Mais Queridothere are three injured athletes who are out of the season: Pedro, Everton Cebolinha and Matías Viña. Michael only returns to the pitch at the end of this month. However, Gabigol, Arrascaeta and Léo Pereira managed to recover and are able to play again.

FOCUS ON THE NEXT GAME

Thus, with four absences, the red and black squad continues preparing for the match against Bahia, next Thursday (12). The second leg of the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil will be at Maracanã, at 9:30 pm.
