And now away from home against Internacional, the 1-2 victory showed that this team is ready for the Libertadores final.
Of course, there is still the game against Grêmio before the trip, but Flamengo should go to the field with the reserves.
Arrascaeta, Pedro and Bruno Henrique available
Having missed many games, fans were wondering whether Arrascaeta would recover in time.
In the match against Internacional, Arrascaeta came on for a few minutes, which certainly renewed the player's spirits.
Arrascaeta has constantly been seen as one of the main players of this Flamengo team. And being able to count on him will be very good.
After 14 away matches, it will be up to Renato to decide whether to field Arrascaeta against Grêmio or rest him for fear of injury.
After spending just over 17 minutes on the field, the athlete will need to get back into the swing of things to play in the final.
Bruno Henrique and Pedro are still training and preparing to be ready to play on Saturday.
The game against Internacional
Flamengo currently has one of the best attacks in Brazilian football, with a lot of offensive production, the team opened the scoring.
After a good play by Vitinho, Gabigol shot well from outside the area and opened the score 1-0 for Flamengo away from home.
Soon after, Everton gave a beautiful pass to Andreas to score Flamengo's second goal.
However, as the game progressed, Internacional managed to shoot 22 times against Diego Alves' goal.
If the team has been giving people something to talk about offensively, the team has also given their opponents a lot of space.
And in a final against the strong Palmeiras team, this could cost them dearly.
Coach Renato Gaúcho will need to get this team right defensively, because if he gives Palmeiras space it could cost them dearly.
The team has just under 5 days until the most important game of the year, Renato has little time to adjust the team.
Now, if the attack works as it has been doing, the spaces left may not even make much of a difference.
Internacional's goal came after a beautiful counterattack led by Tayson, who scored the goal, 2-1 at the end of the first half.
Right after the equalizer, David Luiz cleared the ball off the line, which would have tied the game for Internacional.
Finally, Flamengo won another one, and goes into the game against Grêmio without its main players.
And he travels with morale and confidence to face Palmeiras in the Libertadores Final.
Renato Gaúcho seems to have prepared the team well for this important game.
