Flamengo: Up to 6 free dates for training after Copa do Brasil exit

With a 'more relaxed' schedule, Flamengo will be able to pay more attention to the Brasileirão and Libertadores

Eliminated in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil, Flamengo has gained a 'breather' in the tight season schedule. After drawing 1-1 on aggregate with Atlético-MG and losing on penalties last Wednesday (06) at the MRV Arena, the red-black team will now have up to six dates that would have been reserved for the continuation of the competition, and which should now be free in the schedule.

With the elimination confirmed, Flamengo will not play on August 27, September 11, October 5, October 19, November 2, and November 9. This is because these dates originally host the final stages of the Copa do Brasil.

Thus, the red-black team gets a relief in the schedule and, consequently, more time to train, recover athletes and focus on the Brasileirão and the Libertadores. In addition, if the club advances in the continental tournament, it will be able to better prepare for the decisive matches, without the wear and tear of games on close dates.

WHAT ARE THE DATES THAT FLAMENGO WOULD HAVE TO PLAY IF IT ADVANCED IN THE COPA DO BRASIL?

August 27 (Wednesday) - first leg of the quarterfinals
September 11 (Thursday) - return match of the quarterfinals
October 5 (Sunday) - first leg of the semifinals
October 19 (Sunday) - return match of the semifinals
November 2 (Sunday) - first leg of the final
November 9 (Sunday) - return match of the final

DATE 'COMPROMISED' BECAUSE OF THE BRASILEIRÃO?

Although Flamengo currently has six days of respite in the schedule, the tendency is for the CBF to reserve one of these dates for the match against Sport. This is because the Rubro-Negro had the match valid for the 12th round of the Brasileirão postponed, due to the dispute of the Club World Cup.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT MATCH?

The next commitment of Flamengo takes place this Saturday (09), when the team will turn its attention to the clash against Mirassol. The match, valid for the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship, will be played at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. With the usual dedication, the Coluna do Fla promises the best coverage of the duel on the internet, following everything live on YouTube, on the website and on social networks.
