After this morning's tactical training session in Gávea, coach Cuca has all but confirmed the starting lineup for tomorrow's match against Macaé in Volta Redonda. The coach's only doubt is on the left wing. Egídio and Everton are vying for a spot.

"With Egídio, the defense is better protected. With Everton, we gain speed and mobility in attack. That's my only doubt, and I'll only decide on the lineup after analyzing the opponent in more detail," said the Flamengo coach.

Cuca assured that striker Obina's goal drought is not a cause for concern.

-"I trust Obina. He hasn't scored yet, but he's helping us in other ways. And eventually, the goal will come. Just stay calm. His lack of goals isn't a concern because he's playing very well and Flamengo is winning."
