By Helena Petry - in
FlaBasquete is in Córdoba, Argentina, for two more important Champions League matches. This Thursday (25), the team led by Gustavo De Conti plays for early qualification for the championship playoffs. If they beat Minas, Mais Querido will secure a spot in the quarterfinals. The ball goes up at 19:10 pm, at the Angel Sandrin gym, home of Instituto Córdoba, their opponent on Friday (26) at the same time. Dazn will broadcast the games in Brazil.
One of Mengão's reinforcements this season, Mexican-American Lucas Martinez is expecting two high-level clashes.
"Our opponents need a win. Minas needs to advance to qualification, and Instituto needs to stay alive and have a chance of making the playoffs, so I'm sure they'll try to play their best games. For us, securing our spot in the finals is important, and we'll give it everything we have to do to get it," said the point guard.
Flamengo leads Group D with three wins in three matches. Minas, with two more games, has two wins and three losses, while Instituto has won just once in four matches.
The basketball teams of Clube de Regatas do Flamengo rely on resources from their sponsors – BRB, TIM, Ambev, Rede D'or, IRB Brasil RE, CSN, Brasil Plural, EY – via the Federal Incentive Law/Ministry of Sports (IR) and State Incentive Law/State Secretariat of Sports, Leisure and Youth (Seelje) of Rio de Janeiro, in addition to support from the Brazilian Committee of Clubs (CBC).
