Flamengo faces Amazonas, this Wednesday (30), in the Copa do Brasil
Flamengo begins its campaign in the Copa do Brasil this Wednesday (01), against Amazonas, at Maracanã. The novelty of the match is the return of Gabigol, released after suspension. However, the number 10 starts on the bench. On the other hand, young Lorran will have the chance to start in the match scheduled for 9:30 pm (Brasília time).
SEE PROBABLE LINEUP
Rossi, Varela, Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira and Viña; Allan, Gerson and De La Cruz; Lorran, Bruno Henrique and Pedro.
In addition to the addition of Gabigol on the bench and young Lorran among the starters, Flamengo’s lineup brings three more changes compared to the team that faced Botafogo last Sunday (28). On the side, Matias Viña replaces Ayrton Lucas. In the middle, Allan and Gerson take over the positions of Erick Pulgar and Arrascaeta, who are handed over to the medical department.
LORRAN’S FIRST CHANCE
Lorran was even a starter in Flamengo’s main team, however, in the two Campeonato Carioca games under the command of Mário Jorge, when Tite’s squad was in the United States. Therefore, the duel against Amazonas will be the first for the 17-year-old jewel with the gaucho.
Always coming off the bench, Lorran has six games for Flamengo’s professional team in 2024. So far, the youngster has not scored goals, but has provided two assists, one of them in the Libertadores, against Palestino (CHI). Furthermore, in the international competition, but in the Under-20 category, the athlete was the hero of the final against Boca Juniors (ARG), with a goal and a pass in the decision.
GABIGOL’S RETURN
If Lorran is establishing himself in Flamengo’s main team, another striker is looking to return: Gabigol. Without being mentioned since March 16th, in the 0-0 draw with Fluminense, the number 10 is back. Rubro-Negro obtained the suspensive effect for the idol, who was punished for attempting to cheat an anti-doping test.
FLAMENGO
The ball rolls to Flamengo and Amazonas on Wednesday (01), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), for the third round of the Copa do Brasil. If Mengão is on the field, Coluna do Fla will be broadcast live on YouTube. The narration will be by Rafa Penido, with comments by Tulio Rodrigues and reports by Leo José and Rodrigo Lima. In addition, SporTV and Premiere, on closed and pay per view channels, show the confrontation.
