In the return of the Brasileirão, Flamengo/Marinha faces Internacional away from home
The duel will be at SESC Campestre, at 15:30 pm, and the Girls from Gávea are motivated to climb the table
By Rafael Rezende - inAfter five months, Flamengo/Marinha will return to the field this Wednesday (26). At SESC Campestre, the team will face Internacional, at 15:30 pm, in the return of the Brazilian Women's Championship. The match will be the complement of the fifth round of the competition, which was paralyzed due to the coronavirus pandemic, and will mark Celso Silva's debut in command.
Following all health protocols, the group arrived in Rio Grande do Sul on Monday (24) and held training in the afternoon. With a 50% success rate so far, the Meninas da Gávea have scored seven goals and conceded nine. For fellow debutant Lorraynne, it's time to leave everything on the field to get a head start on the return leg.
"I'm very happy and excited, because I'm finally going to play my first match with the Manto Sagrado. The group is different, with firm thoughts and attitudes, and I'm confident that we'll play a great game in this return," she said.
Right-back Raquel mentioned the importance of the match, spoke about the time spent working and preached calm.
"We know how important this match is, we're happy to be back and we want to improve in the competition. We've worked hard and our squad is united and ready to put in a great performance against Internacional," he confirmed.
The match will be broadcast on CBFTV.
