Flamengo's squad returned to training this Friday afternoon at Gávea Stadium. Coach Cuca organized a tactical training session for the team ahead of their Brazilian Championship debut on Sunday against Cruzeiro at Mineirão Stadium.

During the training session, the red-and-black coach kept the team that beat Fortaleza 3-0 on Wednesday in the Copa do Brasil. Welinton is confirmed in defense, as is Everton, who will form the attacking duo with Emerson. Cuca's only change to the team came at the end of the session, when the red-and-black coach took off Everton and brought on Everton Silva. With the change, Léo Moura and Ibson moved further forward.

Flamengo faces Cruzeiro with: Bruno; Airton, Welinton and Ronaldo Angelim; Léo Moura, Willians, Kleberson, Ibson and Juan; Everton and Emerson.
