Part 3/6:
Despite having achieved a decent overall performance with 63% utilization of the points during the tournament, it is evident that the last two matches were disappointing. The team struggled with fatigue and injuries, particularly evident in their poor showings in these key fixtures.
The Future: Recuperation and Expectations
Flamengo returns to play in nine days against Criciúma. This break provides an opportunity for injured players, such as Cebolinha and Bruno Henrique, to recover, potentially marking the return of six important players to the squad. Furthermore, the Uruguayan players who participated in the Copa América will also be rejoining post their third-place match against Canada.
