Atlético-MG officially presented midfielder Alexsandro this Monday (04), in Belo Horizonte, ahead of the match against Flamengo for the Copa do Brasil. Thus, the new reinforcement for the Minas Gerais team mentioned the special feeling of facing o Mais Querido and projected qualification for the quarterfinals.
— A special match because it’s a great team, always reaching finals. So, it has a different taste because of that, because we know it’s a tough game, decided by details. And the level always rises in games like this. We will come out with the result we want — said Alexsandro, this Monday (04).
In the first game, Flamengo fell behind Atlético-MG in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. That’s because, at Maracanã, the Minas Gerais team won 1-0. After a defensive error by the red-black defense, Cuello scored the goal that secured the victory.
Thus, Flamengo will need to turn things around to qualify for the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil. To advance, the team led by Filipe Luís needs to win by two goals at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte. If they win by just one goal, the decision will go to penalties.
Thus, Flamengo faces Atlético-MG this Wednesday (06), at 7pm (Brasília time), at Arena MRV, in the second leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. In this way, Coluna do Fla brings all the information directly from Belo Horizonte.
