After training this afternoon, in Gávea, coach Joel Santana confirmed that he has not defined the team that will face Vasco, Sunday, at 16 pm, in Maracanã, since next Wednesday the red-black team faces Cienciano, in the altitude of Cuzco, and there is the possibility of resting some players in the classic against the team from São Januário.

- "By Friday I will choose the team that will play on Sunday. I can put a mixed team on the field, but I will wait for certain situations, like tonight's trial, to know the players I will be able to count on."

The coach confirmed his intention to give some players game time in Sunday's game.

- "Diego Tardelli, Kléberson and Marcinho should play. They've only been here at Gávea for a short time, and they need to gain a bit more game rhythm, as well as help adapt to the team's scheme."

Joel once again recalled the importance of the game against Vasco, which will decide the group's position, and consequently the opponent in the Taça Rio semi-final.

- "Playing a classic is always good. I hope the fans turn up, because it's an important game for Flamengo. Everyone here is very motivated for Sunday."
