Flamengo and Chapecoense line-ups for Brasileirão round 19 | OneFootball

Flamengo and Chapecoense face off this Wednesday (22) at Arena Condá

The Brasileirão is about to resume for Flamengo! This Wednesday (22), the Rubro-Negro visit Chapecoense at Arena Condá, in Chapecó do Sul. The match, valid for the 19th round, kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), and the coaches have already confirmed their lineups.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S LINEUP?

Starters: Agustín Rossi, Emerson Royal, Vitão, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Erick Pulgar, Jorginho and Samuel Lino; Bruno Henrique, Gonzalo Plata and Pedro.

Substitutes: Andrew, Dyogo Alves, Varela, Danilo, João Victor, Alex Sandro, Evertton Araújo, Saúl, Arrascaeta, Everton Cebolinha, Lorran and Wallace Yan.

Flamengo’s lineup was a mystery. After all, the players called up for the World Cup had barely trained with the squad. Names like Alex Sandro, who played only a few minutes at the tournament, and Arrascaeta, who has not played in three months, still need match fitness. Even so, the duo is in Chapecó and available to coach Leonardo Jardim.

The one who did not travel with the squad is Lucas Paquetá. Injured since the World Cup, the midfielder is in the transition phase and is expected to return to the team in early August. In addition, Luiz Araújo, Léo Ortiz and De La Cruz are unavailable for Flamengo against Chapecoense. The first two are recovering from physical issues, while the Uruguayan was rested because of the synthetic pitch. Finally, Jorge Carrascal is suspended.

WHAT IS CHAPECOENSE’S LINEUP?

Matheus Aurélio; Everton, Rafael Thyere, Eduardo Doma and Bruno Pacheco; Camilo, David and Giovanni Augusto; Vinicius Balieiro, Bolasie and Marcinho.

Bottom of the Brasileirão table with only nine points, Chapecoense are looking to surprise Flamengo. The main new feature in the team is coach Rafael Lacerda, who took charge during the World Cup break. However, the clash with Mengão will not be the manager’s debut, as he was already on the bench last Friday (17) in the 2-0 defeat to Bahia, in a postponed Brasileirão match.

On the field, the coach had difficulties naming the team. That is because eight players are currently sidelined by the medical department. They are: Anderson, Rafael Carvalheira, Max Alves, Robert, João Paulo, Victor Caetano, Garcez and Vinícius.

WHERE TO WATCH CHAPECOENSE X FLAMENGO?

Globo and Premiere will broadcast the match. On free-to-air TV, the game will be shown to almost all of Brazil, except Rio Grande do Sul, Paraná, Minas Gerais, Pernambuco and Maranhão, where viewers will instead get Internacional x Cruzeiro, São Paulo x Athletico-PR and Náutico x Londrina.

WHAT IS THE AUTHOR’S OPINION?

— Regardless of Flamengo’s lineup, whether with few or many absences, Flamengo have the obligation to beat Chapecoense if they want to fight for the title. The synthetic pitch cannot be an excuse either, since the team has a good record on this type of surface — opined Pedro Paulo Catonho, journalist for Coluna do Fla.
