\ In the tactical training session held this morning in Gávea, coach Joel Santana began to assemble the team that will face Santos on Sunday at Maracanã.\

The only change in the lineup is likely to be Renato Augusto's attacking role, alongside Souza, who will return after serving a suspension against Cruzeiro. In defense, Thiago Sales will continue to replace Ronaldo Angelim. Before the training session, the coach met with the players, who now only want to focus on the future. The plan is to forget the defeat in the last round and focus on the remaining rounds of the Brazilian Championship. "Maybe the team didn't play well against Cruzeiro due to fatigue. But that's in the past. We have three more games, and we'll take them one at a time. The first step is Santos. If we really want a spot in the Libertadores, we can't think about anything other than a victory," Cristina emphasized.
