Countdown to the grand final of the Campeonato Carioca. This Saturday afternoon (07), Flamengo conducts the last training session before facing Fluminense this Sunday (08) in the state championship final.
During the activities, coach Leonardo Jardim defines Flamengo's starting lineup for the match at Maracanã. The probable lineup is as follows: Rossi; Varela (Royal), Léo Pereira, Danilo (Léo Ortiz) and Alex Sandro; Pulgar, Jorginho, Paquetá and Arrascaeta; Carrascal (Samuel Lino) and Pedro (Plata).
As it marks the debut of coach Leonardo Jardim, there are still uncertainties about Flamengo's formation. Saúl is out of the match, while Bruno Henrique remains doubtful. In the offensive sector, Pedro appears as a candidate for the starting position, although the coach has other options for the attack.
With four days of preparation, Flamengo faces the classic against Fluminense aiming to secure the first title of the season. For this, the team intensifies the final adjustments before the decision.
According to Coluna do Fla, Leonardo Jardim leads the training this Saturday (07) starting at 5 PM (Brasília time). After the activities, the squad will remain concentrated at CT Ninho do Urubu until departure for Maracanã this Sunday (08).
Flamengo and Fluminense face each other this Sunday (08) at 6 PM (Brasília time) for the final of the Campeonato Carioca. It is important to note that the decision is a single match: in case of a draw in regular time, the trophy will be decided by penalties.
Coluna do Fla TV broadcasts all the details of the Fla-Flu on YouTube, along with real-time coverage on the website and social media. Globo (open TV), SporTV (cable channel), Premiere (pay-per-view), and GeTV (YouTube) also broadcast the game.
