From Sunday onwards, I will start making decisions. For example, there are players, as you already know well, who have difficulty playing three games a week —, began Filipe Luís.

— You know very well who they are. These players, it's not even about the final, it's not about anything, but these players can't perform with a sequence of games. But I want to beat Atlético-MG and I will go with the players I believe are the best to win —, concluded the Flamengo coach.
