Flamengo takes a risk in its savings strategy and sees pressure rising

With the results, the classic gains even more weight. After these two failures, the Red and Blacks face Botafogo with additional pressure. The duel will be Sunday, 11am, at Maracanã.

What caused the excessive number of exchanges were two aspects: the very large sequence of games, which made it impossible for some players to come, and the game here in La Paz, which is extremely exhausting due to the altitude.

Maximum strength in Carioca

One of the questions is about the option for maximum strength in the 2nd game of the Carioca final. Flamengo had already beaten Nova Iguaçu, in the first leg, 3-0, and was on track to win the title. Even so, coach Tite did not spare anything for the return duel.

The decision to cast the best was influenced by the board. The coach stated that he was instructed by the directors to prioritize the search for the state title even with the great advantage built. In the next match, a 1-1 draw against Millionarios.

Spared trained

The seven players rested against Bolívar trained in Rio. They were: Allan, Léo Pereira, Varela, Ayrton Lucas, Erick, Arrascaeta and Pedro.
