Campinas (SP) - It's been four years since Flamengo and Guarani last faced each other. Flamengo was relegated to the second division and only returned to the Brazilian top flight this season. But memories of the last matchup with the Campinas team are fond for some members of the current Flamengo squad.
In the round of 2006 of the 12 Copa do Brasil, the team from Gávea easily defeated Guarani and took an important step towards the title. On April 5 of that year, the team of Diego, Leonardo Moura, Renato Silva, Fernando, André Lima (Juan), Léo Oliveira, Jonatas (Rodrigo Arroz), Diego Souza, Renato, Vinicius Pacheco, and Luizão (Obina) thrashed the Bugrinos 1-XNUMX.
"The team was in good form. We got a great win at home, which helped us build confidence in the title race. We have to try to play as intelligently as we did back then. We lost the game, but we were smart. Now the competition is different, we can't even think about losing and we'll use our intelligence to come out with the win," Juan recalled.
In the return leg, as Juan mentioned, Flamengo ended up losing 1-0 at Brinco de Ouro da Princesa Stadium. The match took place on the 19th, and Flamengo played with Diego, Leonardo Moura, Renato Silva, Ronaldo Angelim, André Lima, Léo Oliveira, Diego Souza, Renato, Vinicius Pacheco (Obina), Peralta (Rodrigo Arroz), and Ramirez (Diego Oliveira). Renato, who scored one of the goals in the 5-1 victory, also remembers that series well.
"It was an important game and it gave us the confidence to go for the title. It's just a shame we lost there. We could have won the title undefeated. But it's always good to remember, right? It was a difficult game, it had a rough start, but then we started to loosen up and it was a great series," he concluded.
Flamengo and Guarani have played 36 times. Flamengo has won 14, lost nine, and drawn 13.
