For Flamengo, the Copa do Brasil only begins on Wednesday (22), but Rubro-Negro fans will have a special reason to follow Paysandu vs Vasco this Tuesday (21). That’s because defensive midfielder Pedro Henrique, signed by Mengão and loaned to the Pará-based club, is expected to start in the match, which kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Mangueirão Stadium.
Flamengo unveiled Pedro Henrique last Friday (17), after signing him from Paysandu for R$ 3 million. The 18-year-old signed a three-year contract. However, Mengão loaned the defensive midfielder back to the Pará side itself. Since the player is an undisputed starter for the first team, the Rubro-Negro believes it is best for the youngster to gain more experience playing in Série C of the Brasileirão and in the Copa do Brasil.
And that should happen this Tuesday (21). Pedro Henrique returned to Paysandu training after visiting Ninho do Urubu and is expected to start against Vasco. The Pará side’s likely lineup is: Gabriel Mesquita; Edílson, Castro, Bruno Bispo and Bonifazi; Pedro Henrique, Caio Mello, Marcinho and Kauã; Kleiton and Ítalo.
Flamengo fans who want to see Pedro Henrique in action can watch the match on Sportv (cable TV), Premiere (pay-per-view), and GETV (YouTube). Coluna do Fla will also highlight the game, showing the result and how the Rubro-Negro midfielder performed.
Like Paysandu and Vasco, Flamengo will also take the field in the Copa do Brasil this midweek. At the Maracanã, the Most Beloved face Vitória in the fifth round of the competition. The ball starts rolling at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), with full coverage from Coluna.
