After beating Paulistano in their NBB 4 debut last Saturday (19.11/21.11), Flamengo has another challenge this Monday (21/20). The red-and-black team faces Pinheiros at XNUMX pm at the Tijuca Tennis Club Gymnasium in Rio de Janeiro. Tickets cost R$XNUMX. Fans wearing Flamengo shirts pay half price. The match will be a meeting between the current state champions of Rio and São Paulo.
"Pinheiros is a traditional team, coming off the back of their São Paulo title. We have to be very careful not to make the same mistakes as in our debut," said Leandrinho, who topped the scoreboard in the first game of the competition with 26 points.
For the game, Flamengo will still be without captain Marcelinho, who is serving a suspension due to the confusion in the match against Franca, in the semifinals of the NBB 2010/2011.
For coach Gonzalo Garcia, once the excitement of the debut has passed, Flamengo needs to maintain consistency in the upcoming matches.
"The team still alternates between good and bad moments, especially in defense, and we are working to correct that," he said.
