The ball is in their court. The most experienced players in Flamengo's squad have been called upon by coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo to take responsibility and be the pillars of the team in the next and final three rounds of the Brazilian Championship.
In a group with experienced players like Deivid and Maldonado, as well as others who have been at Flamengo for a long time, such as Angelim, Juan, and Leo Moura, it's time to be patient and calm.
"I'm counting on all the players, since we don't have anyone suspended due to cards. I'll be able to put together the team for this decisive match calmly. All Flamengo fans are aware of the importance of this final stretch. We have to experience this intensely, taking responsibility. It belongs to the more experienced players; I can't pass that responsibility on to the younger ones," he said.
Luxa points out that the team's position in the standings is not favorable, but it's not desperate either, and that the team can take an important step away from the bottom of the table on Saturday.
"Flamengo never entered the relegation zone. They're in the middle to lower part of the table in an uncomfortable situation. For a team used to being at the top of the table, it's complicated. But we'll keep trying to grow and evolve," said the coach, taking the opportunity to call on the fans to come to the weekend's game.
"For Flamengo fans, it's very important to understand that this game is crucial. When they understand this, they show up and support the team. Engenhão doesn't have the mystique of Maracanã, but it's important to be there. The group has been working hard so that things can happen," he concluded.
