After a 3-1 victory over Internacional last Sunday (17th), in the Brazilian Championship, presenter Neto praised Flamengo and projected great chances of a title for Filipe Luís' team. This is because the Most Beloved returns to the field this Wednesday (20th), against the same opponent, but in the round of 16 of the Libertadores Cup.
— Boy, what a rout, 3-1 was a breeze. Flamengo is impressive, what a team, what flair, what marking. Pedro is a great center forward. You can forget it, in the Libertadores Cup it will be the same. It will be a Flamengo victory, which will qualify. It will be the Brazilian champion. The only two teams that can compete are Cruzeiro and Palmeiras. The rest, no one else can compete to win the Brazilian Championship title -, said the former player and idol of Corinthians on the social networks of Rádio Craque Neto.
The presenter again praised Filipe Luís' team on the Apito Final program, on Band, where Neto speculated about the dismissal of the opposing team's coach. “It's a Copenhagen chocolate game, I don't know if Internacional will keep Roger [Machado]”, he highlights.
Flamengo took to the field with its starters, while Internacional was depleted and already focused on the return of the Libertadores Cup. Therefore, Pedro and Gonzalo Plata scored three goals for the red-black team, but Rafael Borré scored for the Gaúchos in the 20th round of the Brazilian Championship, at Beira-Rio.
Flamengo has a 1-0 advantage in the aggregate score and only needs a draw at Beira-Rio this Wednesday (20th) to advance to the quarterfinals. Thus, the game will start at 21:30 (Brasília time), with a broadcast by Globo and ESPN.
