After commanding the training session this Wednesday afternoon (17.06), at the George Helal Training Center, coach Cristóvão Borges gave a press conference. Check out the main topics:
Sheik
"He's a great player. I had the opportunity to work with him in 2008, in the Arab world, and he's changed very little physically. He's a privileged player in that sense. Technically, there's nothing to complain about: he's fast, a goalscorer, and will help us a lot."
Saturday game
"Atlético-MG is a great team, but we'll study them. It's not yet decided who will play in Jonas's place; I have a few days to think about it and work on that. But one thing is certain: the fans' presence will be crucial. I'm sure the Maracanã will be full, which is very important for us."
