After the draw against Madureira, in Cariacica-ES, the red-black squad returned this Thursday (19), at Ninho do Urubu, and began preparations for the match against Nova Iguaçu, which will be held on Saturday (21), at 16 pm, at Maracanã. The confrontation is valid for the third round of Cariocão.

The starters who started the match against Tricolor Suburbano performed a recovery session. The rest took to the field for a tactical drill with Coach Vitor Pereira. The coach even stated after the 0-0 draw that he intends to go full strength against the team from Baixada Fluminense.

"We'll have to take another chance because it's the only way (against Nova Iguaçu). We're still tired, but we'll play to gain playing time. Then we'll slow down to face Palmeiras," said the coach.
