The players who started last Sunday's match performed recovery work in the gym, while the rest of the squad completed tactical training under coach Tite. The red-and-black manager will be without Bruno Henrique, Thiago Maia, and Filipe Luís, who are suspended for yellow cards.

Striker Pedro, who scored the first goal in the 2-0 victory over Fortaleza, was a guest on FlaTV's "Resenha do Jogo" (Game Review). He celebrated Mengão's 101st goal and the numerous titles they have won.

"It's impossible to imagine achieving something of this magnitude. I'd go to Gávea to take photos with the players, I'd go to Maracanã to watch the games. Today, being part of this club and being part of Flamengo's history is very gratifying. Reaching these milestones is also very rewarding. I'm grateful to Flamengo and the players. I couldn't have done it without them."

The red-black team returns to training this Tuesday (7) when they will do the last activity before the duel against the São Paulo team. The Mais Querido is currently sixth in the national competition with 53 points and is looking for another victory to join the top group in the Brasileirão.
