It's time to get back on track for the Copa do Brasil. This Wednesday (15), at 21:45 pm, Flamengo hosts Grêmio at Maracanã with only one goal in mind: qualifying. After the 1-1 draw in Porto Alegre, which featured a goal from Lincoln in the last play, the Mais Querido seeks qualification in front of its fans, who promise a full house.
In his final press conference before the match, coach Maurício Barbieri spoke to reporters at Ninho do Urubu. "I hope the stadium is packed, because when our fans work together to support us, we have a huge advantage. Our fans have demonstrated this in almost every game. It's important to emphasize that having the fans behind us makes Flamengo stronger, and that's what we need tomorrow. We're playing against a highly qualified team, the champions of the Americas. We know the magnitude of the challenge, but we're counting on our fans," he stated.
