In this afternoon's tactical training session at Gávea, coach Joel Santana made four changes to the team compared to the match against América. With Leonardo Moura in the squad, and Fábio Luciano and Toró suspended, the coach named Luisinho, Rodrigo, and Kleberson among the starters. The other change was Diego Tardelli replacing Marcinho. Joel will also test the formation in a training session tomorrow, but the changes are expected to be implemented against Volta Redonda on Thursday at Maracanã. "I liked the team's defensive posture and also their approach to the game. I'll see how the team performs in tomorrow's training session and then confirm the starting lineup," said Joel, certain that the time has come to refresh some players. "This is the first time I've been able to field players who were improving physically. It's important to be able to refresh everyone."
