Sunday is a day off for Flamengo, but the Flamengo players have an important commitment at 15:30 p.m.: watching the Brazilian national team's second game in the World Cup in South Africa. Brazil faces Ivory Coast, and the players from the Gávea team will watch the match to cheer on the team and their teammate Kleberson, who is at the World Cup.
Coach Rogério Lourenço, for example, believes that the Brazilians are fully capable of achieving a good result in the World Cup.
"I had the privilege of participating in the U-20 World Cup last year, and the whole debut thing is really complicated. But it goes away. The victory was the most important thing, and it happened. Overall, Brazil can do more, and I believe they will improve during the competition. They didn't play a great game, but they're a competitive team with quality players and a balanced team that, with the individual quality of the players, can do well," he analyzed.
Serbian Petkovic agrees. According to him, with Kaká at his best, Brazil can go far in the competition.
"Brazil won the first game, but they weren't convincing, but I hope they improve in the second, just as Serbia did. I hope to see a more relaxed team, the best team in the world that we know, with Kaká in form... Brazil did their homework, got three points and now it's time to get on with the job," he observed.
It's worth remembering that, in total, Flamengo has loaned 33 players to the Brazilian national team in World Cups. In only three World Cups (1934, 1962, and 2006) has Flamengo had no players called up by Brazil.
