00:00Flamengo drew with Internacional on Wednesday in yet another poor night for Leonardo's team.
00:05Garden.
00:06After a bitter draw at the Maracanã against São Paulo, the Rio de Janeiro team traveled to Porto Alegre and once again...
00:10Once again, a performance far below par.
00:12It ends in a draw against a team that is going through a crisis.
00:15Internacional comes into this match after four consecutive defeats and faces Flamengo, who desperately need a win.
00:20And even with an empty stadium, in a way, given the stadium's capacity,
00:25Inter manages to open the scoring in the first half against a completely disorganized Flamengo.
00:29with great ease to penetrate the Flamengo defense.
00:32And then in the second half Flamengo changes their approach a bit,
00:34Because Samuel Lino manages to keep everything even, but returns to Rio with at least one more point in the...
00:40baggage
00:41and possibly with the chance to see Palmeiras extend their lead even further.
00:45This is a portrait of Flamengo by Leonardo de Jardim.
00:48At this moment, Flamengo will have a free training session ahead of them.
00:52because they are out of the Copa do Brasil, having been eliminated by Vitória,
00:55He is out of this weekend's matches and the matches in the middle of next week.
00:59So coach Leonardo de Jardim will have this important period to recalculate the route.
01:02The truth is that today Flamengo is not able to reflect on the field what is expected of a star-studded squad.
01:07a squad capable of playing good football,
01:09And the coach acknowledged this after the match.
01:12He spoke about how worrying these results are for Flamengo, who are aiming to be champions.
01:15But the idea of being a champion seems increasingly distant from Flamengo's reality.
01:19In theory, Flamengo's squad is a powerful squad.
01:22and that even with some injuries like Paquetá, who was sidelined,
01:25Today saw the return of Carrascal, among other players who are also available.
01:30And Flamengo is unable to translate theory and expectation into the practice of well-played football.
01:35Jardim said he intends to use these next few days to recover this DNA.
01:39to recover that good football,
01:40But the expectation of the Flamengo fans, of course,
01:42the last portrait that remains before this break from the games,
01:45That's what happens when a team fails to deliver what is expected.
01:47Flamengo will face Cruzeiro very soon.
01:50for the round of 16 of the Libertadores,
01:52And the image that comes across is that Flamengo today is unable to hurt the opponent.
01:56He can't maintain that aggressiveness with the ball at his feet.
01:58this intensity throughout the entire game,
02:01Flamengo is having a lot of difficulty setting up attacks, creating chances.
02:03Today saw the return of Arrascaeta to the starting lineup.
02:06And even then, Flamengo had great difficulty in creating that kind of play.
02:09to make that connection from defense to offense,
02:11experienced players like Jorginho, who performed very poorly on the field.
02:14He himself acknowledged during halftime his poor performance in a Flamengo shirt.
02:18And the fans are worried about the team's future.
02:21He's already out of the Copa do Brasil, as I said.
02:23Brazilians are becoming increasingly distant,
02:24With Palmeiras having the potential to open up an eight-point lead at the top of the table,
02:27So Flamengo needs to quickly recalculate this route.
02:30José Aboto looks at the transfer market,
02:32The goal is to secure the signing of Thiago Almado.
02:35Time is passing,
02:36And Flamengo needs to give an answer to its fans.
02:38Of course, with the ball in play, we'll have to wait a little longer.
02:41against this break, due to the Copa do Brasil,
02:44So Leonardo Diardi will have an important period.
02:46to recover the good game, the good DNA,
02:48as he himself said in the press release,
02:50after the match at Beira Rio.
