On their return to Gávea, Flamengo/Marinha welcomes Ferroviária
With an eye on climbing even higher in the Brasileirão table, the team wants to take advantage of the home advantage against the current champions
By Rafael Rezende - in
The 3-1 victory over Iranduba boosted Flamengo/Marinha's morale for the rest of the season, and now it's time to take advantage of the momentum in the national competition. This Wednesday (09), the Mais Querido will host Ferroviária at 15 pm for the eighth round of the Brasileirão. The match will mark the team's return to Gávea for official matches.
With 10 points (three wins and one draw), Celso Silva's team sits tenth in the standings and is very close to qualifying for the second round. So far, they have scored 12 goals and conceded 14. Full-back Debora Sorriso, the leading assists provider and a standout performer, spoke about her expectations of playing at home.
"The importance of returning to play at Gávea, where we've always been happy, is huge. We really enjoy it. We know the responsibility of home advantage, and this game is crucial to our ambitions. We're ready to go for the win and want to achieve our goals in the competition," she said.
The duel will be broadcast on CBFTV.
