Flamengo's U-20 team returns to the field this Friday (10.12/16) to face Atlético-GO at XNUMX p.m. in Rio Grande do Sul. This will be the club's third match in the Brazilian Championship, and the match is crucial for their hopes in the competition. With three points from two games, Flamengo sits second in Group A, behind Atlético-MG and tied with Palmeiras. A win will put the team on the verge of qualifying for the knockout stage of the tournament.
The players know the importance of a good result this Friday. Despite coming off a loss to Palmeiras, the red-and-blacks are motivated and want to turn things around this round. According to right-back Alex, the team can't let this opportunity pass them by.
"We have to win this game and we know that. It's an important match, a chance for us to come back. Unfortunately, we couldn't beat Palmeiras, even though we attacked a lot in the second half, but now it has to be different and we're going to do everything we can to make it happen," he said.
While the result Flamengo needs is well-known, coach Paulo Henrique's lineup for the match has yet to be finalized. Without Jorbison, who is suspended, the coach has two options: improvise someone at left back or change the team's tactical formation.
"The professor will only decide tomorrow. But regardless of who starts playing, we'll have to give our all to win," Alex added.
Flamengo's likely lineup for the match: Cesar, Alex, Marllon, Mateus and Ricardinho; Maycon, Luiz Antônio, João Vitor and Lorran; Negueba and Thomas.
