New shift, new life

By From the team at Flamengo's official website - in
The first half of the 2010 Brazilian Championship is already over for Flamengo. This Wednesday (08.09), the Rubro-Negro debuts in the second half of the competition trying to forget the difficult moments it experienced during the first 19 rounds of the Brasileirão and seeking a new beginning, with the objective of returning to the group of the top four in the table.
The reigning Brazilian champion, Flamengo, has 22 points and is in 14th place this year. With the best defense and worst attack in the first half of the season, coach Silas's team now aims to be a more balanced team, scoring more goals and securing victories, which have narrowly eluded them in recent rounds.
"São Paulo won the last game well, coming from behind, and will have great support from the fans at Morumbi, but we are satisfied with the progress, improving with each game and we have everything we need to play a good game and get a good result," analyzed supporter Renato.
The match will be against another team seeking promotion in the championship: São Paulo. The Tricolor Paulista, which shares the title with Flamengo as the most successful team in the history of the Brasileirão, with six titles, has 25 points and is in 10th place. A victory for Flamengo could allow them to overtake their opponent in the standings.
"They just don't have a team as a squad, with quality players in all positions, but Flamengo has to go there looking for victory, giving our best and knowing that we can get the win," said left-back Juan.
Difficulties – Coach Silas hasn't yet decided on his starting lineup. But regardless of who is selected, the Red-Black team knows it won't be easy. "Observer" Ronaldo Angelim watched São Paulo's recent matches and analyzed the opponent.
"I've watched São Paulo's last three games, and they're a team on the rise. They played well, returning to the team they once were, marking hard and counterattacking well. We have to be mindful of that, but we know that a win there will get us past them, and we have to go after the result," he added.
