Flamengo and Madureira kick off the semifinal of the Campeonato Carioca this Sunday (22), playing the first match of the tie. As the opponent of the Rubro-Negro, the Tricolor Suburbano intends to take the field at ‘full strength’ in hopes of gaining an advantage over Mengão.
Neguete; Júlio César, Marcão, Jean Vianna, Matheus Julião; Lindoso, Jacó, Fubá; Maranhão, Juninho and Everton.
Coach Toninho Andrade has no concerns for the match against Flamengo. That’s because Madureira has no absences for the game, with the entire squad available to face the Rubro-Negro.
On the other hand, Madureira is keeping an eye on one player’s situation: João Fubá. After all, the midfielder is one yellow card away from suspension for this Sunday’s (22) match. Therefore, if he receives a yellow card against Flamengo, the player will miss the team’s second leg of the semifinal in the Carioca.
Flamengo, unlike Madureira, has two absences for the first match of the Carioca semifinal. Saúl Ñíguez is still undergoing treatment after surgery on his left heel, while Jorginho is recovering from pain in his left thigh.
The ball will roll for Flamengo and Madureira at 8:30 PM (Brasília time) this Sunday (22), at Maracanã, for the first leg of the Carioca semifinal. Afterwards, the teams will meet again on March 2 to decide who will advance to the State Championship final.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Madureira, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, GE TV (YouTube), SporTV (cable channel), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Carioca match.
