Flamengo announced this Saturday (28) that Léo Pereira is out of the game against Madureira this Monday (02) for the Carioca. Thus, in a poll by Coluna do Fla, Flamengo fans voted for Danilo and Vitão as the ideal defensive duo for the upcoming match.
220 Flamengo fans voted in the poll conducted by Coluna do Fla last Saturday (28). Of these, 158 chose the option Danilo and Vitão (71%). The last option was Léo Ortiz and Danilo, which ended the poll with only 12%.
In the match against Lanús, Flamengo played with Léo Pereira and Danilo. However, the number 4 experienced severe cramps at the end of the match and could barely stand on the field. Léo Ortiz participated in the overtime, while Vitão remained on the bench.
Now against Madureira, coach Filipe Luís will have to choose two of the three defenders available. Since he is less worn out, the probability of Vitão starting is high, as he did not play against Lanús.
The match between Flamengo and Madureira is scheduled for this Monday (02) at Maracanã, for the return leg of the Campeonato Carioca semifinals. The match will take place starting at 9 PM (Brasília time).
