Tite will use maximum strength in classic against Botafogo
Flamengo enters the field at 11 am (Brasília time) this Sunday (28), to face Botafogo. The game will be for the fourth round of the Brasileirão, but already with tones of decision. After all, in addition to being a classic, the two teams are fighting for position at the top of the table. In this scenario, Tite decided to use a lineup with maximum strength.
CHECK OUT THE FLAMENGO SQUAD
Holders: Rossi, Varela, Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Pulgar, De La Cruz and Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo, Bruno Henrique and Pedro.
Reservations: Matheus Cunha, Wesley, David Luiz, Léo Ortiz, Viña, Igor Jesus, Gerson, Allan, Victor Hugo, Matheus Gonçalves, Lorran and Carlinhos.
Flamengo returns to its main lineup after two matches. This is because, in the games against Palmeiras and Bolívar (BOL), the club’s medical team pointed out a high rate of wear and tear in athletes and made recommendations to the technical committee. In this way, athletes like Pedro, De La Cruz and Arrascaeta played for less time than usual in these matches.
SITUATION IN THE TABLE
With seven points, Flamengo is in third place in the Brasileirão. At the beginning of the round, only Bragantino was above Rubro-Negro, winning the tiebreaker criteria. However, Atlético-MG reached eight points on Saturday (27), after beating Cuiabá 3-0. In this way, only victory interests Fla, to try to regain the lead in isolation, a factor that justifies the lineup with maximum force.
GAME STREAMING
The game will not be broadcast on Globo, being exclusive on Premiere. However, you can follow the match through Coluna do Fla, on Youtube. Direct from Maracanã, Rafa Penido commands the most red-black narration on the internet, with comments by Tulio Rodrigues, in addition to the report with Léo José and Vitor Beloti.
