It’s win or win for Flamengo this Saturday (22). At Maracanã, the Most Beloved hosts Bragantino for the 35th round of the Brasileirão. For the 9:30 PM (Brasília time) clash, coach Filipe Luís has fielded the Rubro-Negro with the strongest lineup available, including Jorginho among the starting eleven.
Starters: Rossi, Varela, Danilo, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Jorginho, Evertton Araújo and Arrascaeta; Everton Cebolinha, Carrascal and Plata.
Substitutes: Matheus Cunha, Emerson Royal, Cleiton, Ayrton Lucas, Allan, De La Cruz, Luiz Araújo, Wallace Yan, Michael, Samuel Lino, Bruno Henrique and Juninho.
Jorginho had not started as a regular since the semifinal match of the Copa Libertadores, against Racing (ARG). Recovered from a muscle problem, the Italo-Brazilian came on in the second half against Fluminense on Wednesday (19), and now will start, due to the absence of the suspended Erick Pulgar and Saúl.
In the defensive system, there is a drastic change compared to the derby with Fluminense. After all, Varela, Danilo and Alex Sandro start the match in place of Emerson Royal, João Victor and Ayrton Lucas. In midfield, Arrascaeta is back, after not even being listed for the last match due to fatigue from the FIFA break with Uruguay.
In addition to the already mentioned Erick Pulgar and Saúl, Flamengo will also be without Léo Ortiz and Pedro, who are in the medical department. On the other hand, all players called up for the FIFA break are available, except for Viña, but that is a technical staff decision.
Therefore, the ball will roll for Flamengo and Bragantino starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Saturday (22), at Maracanã, for the 35th round of the Brasileirão. In summary, the match will be broadcast on Premiere, via pay-per-view. But Coluna do Fla brings you all the information about the match.
