Flamengo now needs to make up for lost points in the Junior State Championship. The team was defeated by Madureira 3-0 at home last Sunday, and saw Botafogo take the lead in the competition. Therefore, they cannot afford to stumble again in the upcoming matches. And midfielder Vitor Saba hopes to help the team in this mission.
Suspended, the player missed the match against Tricolor Suburbano, but he's confirmed for Saturday's away game against Resende. The match is part of the 10th round of the Taça Guanabara, the first round of the state championship, and with a win, Flamengo hopes to return to the top of the competition. Saba dreams of a grand return.
"Not playing is really bad, especially when your team loses by an abnormal score like that. But it was just a stumble. It was our first defeat and now we won't hesitate anymore. I hope to come back and help the team beat Resende," he said.
The player doesn't deny that the defeat to Madureira ended up discouraging the group a little, but guarantees that confidence has already returned to the red-black kids.
"The truth is that it was a cold shower, but during the week, we turned all of that into motivation for the rest of the championship," explained Saba.
Flamengo is expected to make some tactical changes for this match. Coach Armênio Moura hasn't yet revealed the team's lineup, but he's been practicing several variations in recent days and will opt for the best one in training this Friday.
