Libertadores: Fla takes Ñublense to try to forward classification

Flamengo faces Ñublense (Chile), starting at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) this Wednesday (24) at the Municipal Stadium of Concepción, with the mission of adding points that will allow it to forward the classification to the round of 16 of the Cup Liberators. National Radio broadcasts the match live. For this, the Rubro-Negro will have to win again in the continental competition. After debuting with a 2-1 defeat to Aucas (Ecuador) away from home, the red-black beat Ñublense by 2-0 at Maracanã and ended up 1-1 with Racing (Argentina). With that, Fla occupies the vice-leadership of Group A of the competition with 4 points. The leadership belongs to Racing, which last Tuesday (23) overcame Aucas by 2-1 to reach 10 points. However, even having beaten the Chileans in the match played at Maracanã, Argentine coach Jorge Sampaoli made it clear, in a press conference, that he does not expect it to be easy, even more playing away from home: “[O Ñublense é um] team that plays very well […]. It is a team that has quality of play and that handles the ball very well”. Mengão worked this Tuesday (23), at Estadio Huachipato-CAP, focusing on tomorrow’s match, against Ñublense, for @Libertadores! 🔴⚫ #VamosFlamengo #CRFMarcelo Cortes /CRF pic.twitter.com/eUPGrWN579 — Flamengo (@Flamengo) May 23, 2023 An important “reinforcement” for this match could be the Uruguayan Arrascaeta, who embezzled Flamengo last Sunday (21) in a Brazilian Championship match against Corinthians. The midfielder, who was out of action because of pain in his right thigh, participated in the training session held last Tuesday (23) already on Chilean soil. And the presence of Arrascaeta, an excellent articulator of plays, can be of great importance for the Rubro-Negro to be able to do something that Sampaoli highlighted in his last interview: having the ability to create goal opportunities in the face of very closed defenses. “When spaces are reduced, the team has to have the peace of mind to create these spaces, to then be at the moment for quality players to define the match”, declared the coach.
