Grêmio Prudente, Fluminense, Grêmio, and Goiás. Four of Flamengo's next five opponents in the Brazilian Championship will face the Rubro-Negro at the Maracanã. In the following rounds, only on June 2nd will the team from Gávea leave Rio de Janeiro, to face Palmeiras at Palestra Itália. Therefore, coach Rogério Lourenço's team hopes to reach the break before the World Cup with a good position in the competition's standings.
Current Brazilian champion Flamengo already considers the Libertadores Cup a thing of the past and is turning its attention back to the national competition.
"Of course we were focused on this match, but life goes on. We have to take advantage of the three home games in a week. Every game in the Brazilian league is difficult, but I see a good outlook," said Rogério.
The coach also believes that, even with the elimination from the international tournament, the team has recovered its best style of play. According to Rogério, if Flamengo repeats its performance against "La U" in Chile, it has a great chance of competing for the championship title for the second time.
"The most important thing was to restore the self-esteem of this group. In decisive games, in the Carioca Championship, we weren't lucky, and in some Libertadores games as well. But today we played very well despite not qualifying, and Flamengo fans can be proud of the team that played today," he concluded.
