After Friday afternoon's training session at the Ninho do Urubu Training Center in Vargem Grande, coach Andrade confirmed the starting lineup for the team's Sunday match against Atlético-MG at Mineirão Stadium. Despite being rested from the training session, midfielder Zé Roberto is in the lineup, and Andrade assured the club that the red-and-black team is ready to put on a strong performance this weekend.
"Zé didn't train, but he'll be in the game. The rest of the team is the same, no secret. We trained well during the week, and the team will arrive strong and prepared to put on a good performance. If we win, our team will gain a lot of confidence for this final stretch of the competition. If we lose, we'll be far from the title and the top four. It's a decisive match."
Flamengo faces Atlético-MG with: Bruno; Léo Moura, Álvaro, Ronaldo Angelim and Juan; Maldonado, Airton, Willians and Petkovic; Zé Roberto and Adriano.
