Will Zico play? Pyramids’ likely XI to face Flamengo at Club World Cup | OneFootball

Flamengo and Pyramids (EGY) face off this Saturday (13th) in the Club World Cup semifinal

After defeating Cruz Azul (MEX) in the Americas Derby, the next challenge for Flamengo in the Intercontinental is Pyramids (EGY). The Egyptian team has no absences and is expected to go in full strength for the Challenger Cup, a semifinal that takes place from 2pm (Brasília time).

Probable Pyramids lineup:

Shenawy; Chibi, Gabr, Samy, and Mohamed Hamdi; Lasheen, Touré, Zalaka, Atef, and Hafez (Ewerton); Mayele.

Is Pyramids not going to use Zico?

As a point of curiosity, the Egyptian squad includes the forward Mostafa Zico, whose real name is Mostafa Mohamed Zaki Abdelraouf. The player, a fan of the red-and-black hero, however, will start on the bench.

Is Pyramids a strong opponent?

Even though they have a Zico on the team, Filipe Luís highlighted the opposing defense after studying them. The Flamengo coach believes that Pyramids would give a lot of trouble if they played in the Brasileirão, much like Mirassol, who finished in fourth place.

What is Flamengo's next game?

Thus, the match between Flamengo and Pyramids (EGY) takes place this Saturday (13th), for the Intercontinental semifinal. The ball starts rolling at 2pm (Brasília time), at Ahmed bin Ali Stadium, in Al Rayyan, Qatar.

Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match through YouTube, the website, and social media. Additionally, Globo (broadcast TV), SporTV (cable channel), GE TV (YouTube), and Cazé TV (YouTube) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Pyramids match.
