After a good victory in its debut, Flamengo returns to the court on Friday night (04.11/20) for another challenge in the first round of the South American League. The team faces Boston College, from Chile, at 30:05.11 pm (Brasília time), at the Carlos Cerutti Municipal Gymnasium, in Córdoba, Argentina. The Rubro-negro concludes its participation in group C on Saturday (20/XNUMX), against Atenas de Córdoba, at XNUMX pm. The top two teams will secure a spot in the final hexagonal.
Despite being little known, the Chileans surprised by beating the hosts in their debut, 78 x 73. The result set off alarm bells at Flamengo:
"Boston College was the last champion of the Chilean League and is still reinforced with some foreign players. Therefore, they are a strong team and we have to be careful, especially since they are coming off a surprising result," said coach Gonzalo Garcia.
With two Argentines on the roster (the coach and forward/center Federico Kammerichs), Flamengo has been attracting the attention of the local press. Journalists are most curious about whether the traditional sporting rivalry between Brazil and Argentina has hindered the two's adaptation.
"I was very well received by my teammates. They are doing everything they can to make me feel comfortable on the team and in the city. I'm very happy with this opportunity. Flamengo made a huge effort to bring in experienced and renowned players, and I'm happy they trusted me," said Kammerichs.
"Flamengo's idea is to mix the Brazilian and Argentine styles of play. And I want to show that a good defense wins games," the coach added.
