Despite being undefeated (two draws and one win) in the Otávio Pinto Guimarães Tournament (OPG), Flamengo's under-20 team sits second in Group B. This is because they had a rest in the last round and saw Serra Macaense open up a three-point lead. This Saturday (September 28.09th), the leader will have a rest, and the Mais Querido can return to the top. To do so, they just need to beat Mesquita at 15 p.m. at Nielsen Louzada Stadium.

"Once again, we'll be fielding an alternate team, aiming to give all our players more experience. Some of the players who will face Mesquita will be under observation and could even start in the starting lineup against Remo," explained Cleber dos Santos, the club's coach.

The match against Remo, which Cleber dos Santos referred to, will be the first of the round of 02.10 of the Copa do Brasil and will be played on Wednesday (21), at 30:XNUMX pm, at the Mangueirão Stadium, in Belém do Pará.

"We've definitely already talked about this game against Remo. We're very focused and have had a very intense week of training. We know it will be a difficult match, due to the expectations our opponent is placing on the match: they've played the game at the Mangueirão Stadium and invited the fans. But we're preparing hard to arrive there mentally strong," said the Mais Querido coach.
