Ex-Brazil star backs Jorginho and Lino before Flamengo v Estudiantes | OneFootball

Vampeta requested the participation of Jorginho and Samuel Lino against Estudiantes (ARG)

The Flamengo takes the field this Thursday (25) to face Estudiantes (ARG), for the Copa Libertadores. Thus, Vampeta, former player of the Brazilian National Team, called for attention from the rubro-negros athletes and demanded the participation of Jorginho and Samuel Lino.

— I think that, within their careers, even though Jorginho and Lino are Brazilian, they have never experienced a situation like the one they will face tomorrow. They will encounter the fans on fire, the Argentinians cheering. It's different from everything, the Argentinian fan is different from the others —, began Vampeta.

— I'm not saying they won't feel the game, but I believe that, within their careers, it will be difficult because they have never experienced such a hostile environment. These are new things in the lives of these athletes, who were hired precisely for this: to be in this decisive moment. They came for this —, concluded the former player of the Brazilian National Team.

HOW ARE THE TWO PLAYERS?

Samuel Lino is available to coach Filipe Luís for the game against Estudiantes. On the other hand, midfielder Jorginho remains a doubt, as he recently recovered from a thigh edema, which kept him out of recent matches.

HOW IS FLAMENGO'S SITUATION?

The Flamengo took the lead against Estudiantes in the first leg of the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores. The team led by Filipe Luís defeated the Argentinians 2-1 at Maracanã, with goals from Pedro and Varela. Thus, they can even draw to advance to the semi-finals.

WHEN IS THE GAME?

Thus, Flamengo and Estudiantes will face off this Thursday (25), at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), in La Plata. As usual, Coluna do Fla brings all the information before and after the decisive clash in Argentina.
