Since taking over Flamengo's professional team, Andrade hasn't been much of a secret about his game. And, after beating Madureira 03.03-2 last Wednesday (0), he was very clear when commenting on the expectation of Kleberson and Adriano returning to the starting lineup in the match against Resende next Saturday (06.03).

According to the red-black coach, the two, who were in the Brazilian national team's friendly against Ireland, last Tuesday (02.03), in London, will only not play if they are not in condition.

"I hope to have them available for the next match. However, that's still a matter of discussion. They arrive this Thursday and there's a time zone issue. I think it's important to talk to the players in a situation like this. If they tell me they're okay, I see no reason not to put them on the field. I'll also speak with the medical department to avoid any problems," said Andrade.

The two Flamengo players were the only representatives of Rio de Janeiro soccer on Dunga's roster for the friendly against Ireland. Adriano started alongside Robinho and played for 70 minutes. Kleberson did not play. Brazil won 2-0.
