Heading to the north of Brazil
Fla faces Remo (PA) in the round of 20 of the U-XNUMX Brazil Cup
By Communication - Official Club Website - in
Nearly 2.500 km separate Rio de Janeiro from Belém, the city where Flamengo will play the first leg of the round of 20 of the U-XNUMX Brazil Cup. Having eliminated Vitória, Remo will be the Mais Querido's next opponent in the competition. Despite the long distance between the capitals of Rio de Janeiro and Pará, Flamengo coach Cleber dos Santos doesn't see the travel stress as a differentiator in the match.
"It doesn't make any difference, as we'll go by plane, as the CBF pays for the trip when the distance between cities exceeds 700km. Besides, they'll be exhausted when they come to Rio. From what we've seen, Remo seems to be a very lean and solid defensive team. So, it will be a good matchup in the round of XNUMX," he said.
With Flamengo's fan base nationwide, Cleber dos Santos hopes to play in Belém with a strong showing of support from the nation in the stands. "For Remo's match against Vitória in Pará, 8 people attended the stadium. So, it'll be a full house against Flamengo as well. It's important that the Flamengo fans show up to support us," he said.
The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has not yet confirmed the dates and locations of the matches. The first leg will be on the first or second day of October, and the return leg will be held the following week. Regarding the stadiums, Remo will likely host the match at Mangueirão Stadium, and Flamengo at Moça Bonita Stadium in Bangu.
So as not to stand still
As Flamengo is not playing in the Otávio Pinto Guimarães Tournament this weekend, the team held a training match, in Gávea, against Duquecaxiense, on Friday (20.09). Rubro-Negro won by a score of 5 to 0, with goals from striker Igor Sartori (2), midfielder Mattheus (2) and left-back Pablo.
Next week, Flamengo will play a friendly against Audax, with the date yet to be confirmed.
