Coach Andrade surprised Flamengo by naming two changes for Thursday's (08.04/XNUMX) match against Universidad de Chile. Angelim returns to the starting lineup alongside Álvaro in defense, and Michael comes in midfield. Vinícius Pacheco has been moved up to attack.
Check out the full lineup: Bruno, Léo Moura, Álvaro, Ronaldo Angelim, and Juan; Toró, Kleberson, Willians, and Michael; Vinícius Pacheco and Vagner Love. On the bench, Andrade has: Marcelo Lomba, Fabrício, Fierro, Rodrigo Alvim, Maldonado, Petkovic, and Bruno Mezenga.
"Michael is a player who performed very well on Sunday and showed he deserved this opportunity. He's coming from behind, and I opted for him. He's in good physical shape, and I think he'll make the most of his opportunity. Angelim, on the other hand, has more experience, and I opted for him in these crucial matches," explained the coach.
