The team led by the Portuguese has played five games with the first team so far, but has only won two matches.

What to expect from Flamengo's opponents in the Club World Cup?
Firstly, Flamengo's opponent will emerge from the clash between Al Hilal and Wydad Casablanca.
Flamengo has two very difficult possible opponents in this first stage.
Wydad has the advantage of being the host of the competition, so they will play at home with all the pressure from the fans in their favor,
So Flamengo should expect a very tough game against this opponent, however, it all depends on how the Rio team will react to the fans against, if the team adapts well, has a better squad, and has a good chance of taking home the victory .
The other opponent, Al Hilal, was Flamengo's opponent in the 2019 competition, where the Rio team started losing, and managed to turn things around in the second half, winning 3-1.
Even so, the game was very competitive, in addition, the players Michael and Cuellar, who were once on the Flamengo team, now defend Al Hilal, Flamengo will not have an easy life.
However, Mengão's squad this year has more tactical options, and a more mature team, and if they already won in 2019, they are very likely to get past these opponents without any major problems.
Finally, Flamengo's biggest challenge in the Club World Cup is Real Madrid, the champion of the Champions League, Europe's biggest competition.
Real Madrid will face the winner of the first phase and quarter-final clashes, but the Spanish team is expected to qualify for the final without any major problems.
