With the absences of Fábio Luciano and Ibson, coach Caio Júnior confirmed, after collective training, this afternoon, in Gávea, that Dininho and Kleberson will be starters in Saturday's match, against Náutico, at Maracanã.

"I'm trying to be consistent. Kleberson was decisive in the last two games and deserved this chance. Dininho is ready and can replace Fábio Luciano. I'm barely changing anything in the team structure."

For Caio Júnior, Flamengo's lead in the Brazilian Championship makes opponents more wary of the red-and-black team.

"This lead in the points-based era is a new situation for Flamengo. And just like a Formula 1 race, we're always looking in the rearview mirror at our opponents, hoping we'll fall behind. We have to think step by step, focusing on one game at a time."
