Flamengo will play the second of three consecutive games against Internacional this Sunday (17th), at the Beira-Rio Stadium, for the Brazilian Championship. Thus, midfielder Arrascaeta praised coach Roger Machado and the quality of the Porto Alegre team in the current season.
— We will face a team that doesn't give up much space and has a very intelligent coach. Even though teams are not always in great moments, they have important players in decisive moments —, began Arrascaeta, in a press conference this Friday (15th).
— In the Libertadores, it's even harder to get an elastic score. I believe that with a 1-0 score, we will have a good advantage, but we won't think only about that goal. We're going to win the game. Before that, we have an important commitment to the Brazilian Championship to stay at the top of the table. I believe it will be a highly disputed match —, he concluded.
Flamengo faced Internacional last Wednesday (13th), at the Maracanã, for the first match of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. Thus, the red and black team took the lead, with a goal from Bruno Henrique. Therefore, the Most Beloved can even tie to advance to the next phase.
Thus, Flamengo will face Internacional again, now for the Brazilian Championship. The red and black team will face the Gauchos on Sunday (17th), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at the Beira-Rio Stadium, in Porto Alegre, valid for the 20th round of the Brazilian Championship.
