Fernando is Rogério Lourenço's new surprise
Flamengo is scheduled to face São Paulo and the midfielder is the new addition in place of Fierro
By From the team at Flamengo's official website - inFinally, Flamengo is scheduled to face São Paulo this Sunday at 16 p.m. at Maracanã. And the mystery surrounding coach Rogério Lourenço has been revealed with some news. "Emperor Adriano" is out of the derby, as are Leonardo Moura, Willians, Maldonado, and Vagner Love, who were rested from Friday's training session and are being retained to face Universidad de Chile on Wednesday in the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals.
\Regarding the team that took the field for Friday's practice, there were two changes. Fierro replaced Fernando, and Dênis Marques replaced Adriano, who asked coach Rogério Lourenço to sit out Sunday's game after speaking with him. Since he trained the entire time on Friday, he was released from Sunday's practice in Gávea.
\Flamengo will therefore go into the game with Bruno, Everton Silva, David, Ronaldo Angelim, and Juan; Rômulo, Toró, Fernando, Kleberson, and Petkovic; and Dênis Marques. It's worth noting that Fernando feels at home at Maracanã. The midfielder scored all three goals during his time with the club at the stadium. On the bench are Marcelo Lomba, Welinton, Fierro, Rodrigo Alvim, Michael, Vinícius Pacheco, and Bruno Mezenga.
