Part 2/7:
Flamengo's strategy for the upcoming match against Grêmio is under intense scrutiny. With their recent lackluster display against Penarol resulting in a 1-0 defeat, it is evident that the team must bring forth a near-maximal effort against Grêmio. Losing this match could spell doom for Flamengo's chances not only in the league but also their position in future competitions.
Despite the immediate concerns regarding the Copa Libertadores, Flamengo's performance in the Brazilian league is also pivotal. Currently trailing behind leading teams, including Botafogo, Flamengo cannot afford another setback. A loss may distance them from their goal of competing for the league title, especially given the competitive nature of the table.
