Flamengo takes to the field this Wednesday (13) to face Internacional, at Maracanã, in a match valid for the Copa Libertadores. Before the confrontation in Rio de Janeiro, Zico projected the duel, praised both teams, and highlighted the home factor of the most beloved team.
— A remarkable game, it's a pity that a Brazilian team has to say goodbye to the competition. Lately, Flamengo and Internacional have provided great matches, and to our happiness, most of the victories have been ours —, Zico started, this Wednesday (13), in an interview with 'Rádio Gaúcha'.
— When playing at home, Flamengo always has a certain favoritism, but not much. In a knockout game, just like in the South, Inter also has a certain favoritism, because if you observe the teams' record playing in their domains, the percentage is always very high —, concluded the idol of Mengão.
Thus, Flamengo has shown great strength when playing at home. This is because, in the current season, the team led by coach Filipe Luís played 23 games at Maracanã. During this period, they won 16 victories, three draws, and suffered four defeats.
Flamengo faces Internacional this Wednesday (13), at Maracanã, at 21:30 (Brasília time), in a match valid for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16. In this way, Coluna do Fla brings all the information before and after the match.
