The Italian coach, who has recently returned to the country, has a program aimed at calling the national team, scheduled for Monday (August 26). The team begins a new preparation phase for the 2026 World Cup, already with a guaranteed place, aimed at the last rounds of qualifications in September.

Working well, through a good job, the selection will be observed and we work to get to this level of being in the national team,” he said.

The clash against Internacial, therefore, has a double weight for Flamengo. While trying to keep the Punta del Brazilirão, the team must also consolidate the advantage built in the first duel of Libertadores, to relax more at the return game.

However, the presence of Ancelotti in Maracanã has generated speculations on possible observations of the athletes for the call. Lino, however, avoided feeding the subject and preferred to evaluate the planning of the club for the season, noting that the games sequence requires a total focus.

Therefore, the black red week will be marked by an intense preparation and the attention to detail. With two direct clashes against the same opponent in a few days, the cast will have the opportunity to measure strength and regulate the strategies for both tournaments.

Flamengo, under the technical and tactical command that has ensured good results, betting on the cohesion of the group and on the income of the owners to maintain the rhythm. In this scenario, tactical discipline and efficacy in finishes can make a difference in the club’s objectives at 2025.
