Flamengo returns to action for the São Paulo Junior Football Cup this Friday. Coach Paulo Henrique's team will face Gurupi-TO at 21 p.m. in São José dos Campos. The red-and-blacks need a win, having drawn XNUMX-XNUMX with Mogi Mirim in their debut. Their opponent, in turn, is coming off a loss and needs a positive result even more. The Gávea team will be without Frauches, who was sent off in the last game, and Muralha, who was called up for the professional preseason.
Therefore, the Gávea team should field César, Alex, Marlon, China, and Anderson; Vitor Hugo, Maicon, Lorran, and Adryan (Rafinha); Negueba and Lucas. Number 9 Lucas knows the team missed good scoring chances in the draw with Mogi Mirim, but promises that the Rubro-Negro won't be held to a draw again.
"We know we could have gotten the win, which would have been very important for us, but we have to stay focused and, God willing, everything that didn't make it into the first game will make it into the second," he said.
Flamengo is in second place in Group K with one point. São José, the home team, leads the group with three. It's worth remembering that only the top-place team in each group is guaranteed a spot in the next stage of the Copinha.
