Coach Andrade had already given some clues about who would face Friburguense on Sunday. However, at Friday's training session, the coach pulled off some surprises at Gávea. The red-and-black manager made changes to every area of the team, with the exception of the attack.
Rômulo, who was supposed to be a makeshift defender, was replaced by Wellinton, who has recovered from injury. At left-back, Rodrigo Alvim, who has two yellow cards, will not play. In his place is Everton Silva, who leaves the right-back position to Chilean Fierro. In midfield, Michael gets a chance.
In Friday morning's training session, the starting lineup for the final round of the Rio Cup trained with Marcelo Lomba, Fierro, Wellinton, Ronaldo Angelim, and Everton Silva; Maldonado, Lenon, Michael, and Ramon; Gil and Denis Marques. Later, Galhardo, Rômulo, Camacho, Leo Medeiros, Carlyle, and Bruno Mezenga came on board.
"This is the team that will start playing," said Andrade.
The team that faces Universidad de Chile on Wednesday consisted of Paulo Victor, Leo Moura, Alvaro, Fabricio, and Juan; Rodrigo Alvim, Willians, Kleberson, and Vinicius Pacheco; Vagner Love and Adriano. Alvim trained in place of Toró, who was suspended for the match against "La U," but Maldonado is expected to start. Fabricio, suffering from thigh pain, left midway through the training session. David played in his place. In the second half, Pet also had a chance to replace Vinicius Pacheco.
