With the departure of coach Cuca, assistant coach Andrade was confirmed by vice-president of football, Kleber Leite as commander of the red-black team in Sunday's match against Santos, at Vila Belmiro.

Andrade stated after this afternoon's technical training session in Gávea that the Fla team has all the conditions to break the taboo of never having beaten the Santos team at Vila Belmiro in official matches.

"Kleber told me I'll be in charge of the team for Sunday's match. I'm super calm and confident. I hope to help Flamengo get a positive result from Vila Belmiro. I know Flamengo has never won at Vila Belmiro, but taboos are made to be broken. Winning there is difficult, but not impossible. I've already managed the team there once, and we drew 0-0, but we could have won. We have the ability to win in Santos."
