FlaBasquete landed early this Saturday afternoon (13) in Fortaleza, Ceará, to prepare for the clash with the local team in the qualifying phase of the NBB. Facing Basquete Cearense this Sunday, at 12 (Brasília time), at Ginásio Paulo Sarasate, the red-black squad held its last practice before the game tonight. Coach José Neto designed the meeting.

"Basquete Cearense is a team that, when playing at home, is always very tough, playing with great intensity, always causing big problems for their opponents. Tomorrow will be no different. We know it will be a tough game, but we came well prepared to face all these difficulties and leave here with a victory," declares the coach.

Flamengo defends its lead in the table in this match and then heads to Salvador (BA), where it will be hosted by the Vitória team for the penultimate match of the classification phase, on the 16th.
