Should Flamengo rest players vs Atlético-MG in Copa do Brasil? Poll results | OneFootball

Flamengo has treated the Copa do Brasil as the third priority of the year

Coach Filipe Luís and director José Boto have been emphatic throughout the season: Brasileirão is the priority of the year, followed by the Libertadores. Thus, the Copa do Brasil is third on the list. This Wednesday (06), Flamengo takes the field for the round of 16 of the knockout stage, and the big question arises among the fans: to spare or not?

Here at Coluna do Fla, we launched the poll on Sunday (03) and, until the publication of this article, the vast majority is against an alternative team at Arena MRV, starting at 7pm (Brasília time). In the question: "Flamengo should spare players against Atlético-MG in the Copa do Brasil?", 88% of readers chose the option "no", with 12% voting "yes".

IS THERE STILL TIME TO VOTE?

Should Flamengo spare players against Atlético-MG, for the Copa do Brasil?

Vote

The poll is still available for the fan who wants to vote, just above. Coach Filipe Luís has not yet given hints of which team he will send to the field, but the tendency is for Flamengo to enter with full strength or something close to it. The mystery will only be unraveled around 6pm (Brasília time), when the lineup will be released.

HOW DID FILIPE LINE UP IN THE FIRST GAME?

Last Thursday (31), in the first leg of the round of 16, Filipe Luís preserved Jorginho and Arrascaeta from the absolute starters. However, the tendency is for the duo to start against Atlético-MG. After all, the Brazilian is suspended against Mirassol, in the Brasileirão, on Saturday (09), and the Uruguayan is out of the match on the 13th, against Internacional, for the Libertadores. In other words, the duo has a scheduled rest soon.

Therefore, a probable lineup has: Agustín Rossi, Valera, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro (Viña); Jorginho, Allan (Evertton Araújo) and Arrascaeta; Samuel Lino, Gonzalo Plata and Pedro. It is important to note that Luiz Araújo and Bruno Henrique did not even travel to Belo Horizonte, as they are under load control.
