Flamengo's squad returned to training this Thursday afternoon in Gávea. Coach Cuca prepares the red-and-black team for the first game of the Campeonato Carioca final on Sunday against Botafogo at Maracanã.

In this afternoon's collective training session, the standout performer was striker Emerson, who scored four goals in the 6-1 rout of the starters. Zé Roberto also had a strong performance, scoring two beautiful goals. Erick Flores pulled one back for the reserves.

With Airton out of action due to pain in his right ankle, Cuca tested Everton Silva and Welinton alongside Fábio Luciano and Ronaldo Angelim. The starting lineup included: Bruno; Everton Silva (Welinton), Fábio Luciano, and Ronaldo Angelim; Léo Moura, Willians, Kleberson, Ibson, and Juan; Zé Roberto (Erick Flores), and Emerson (Josiel).
