Flamengo faces a decisive match against Botafogo in the quarterfinals of the Carioca. Before the classic that takes place this Sunday (15), the team from General Severiano announced the signing of Colombian Jhoan Hernández.
Jhoan Hernández was announced as Botafogo’s newest reinforcement last Tuesday (10). The left-back is 19 years old and belongs to Millionarios (COL), joining the black-and-white team on loan until the end of this season.
It’s important to note that Jhoan had already been training with the Botafogo squad even before his signing was officially announced. The club, in fact, was just waiting for the end of the transfer ban to make the deal official.
Yes! In addition to Jhoan Hernández, Botafogo also signed defender Ythallo, midfielder Wallace Davi, and forward Lucas Villalba. Thus, there is anticipation to see if these players will be available to play in the match against Flamengo, which takes place next Sunday (15).
Flamengo has not made any new signings, but arrives motivated for the classic after securing their first three points in the Brasileirão. This Wednesday (11), the red-and-black squad had a day off. Starting Thursday (12), the focus will shift to the decisive match against Botafogo.
The match between Flamengo and Botafogo takes place at 5:30 PM (Brasília time) this Sunday (15), at Estádio Nilton Santos. Coluna do Fla TV will provide live coverage of the classic with Rodrigo Lima and Rock Hudson reporting on site on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media. Finally, Globo (broadcast TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will air the match.
