Aiming to prepare the red-black team for the final of the Guanabara Cup, against Botafogo, on Sunday, at Maracanã, coach Joel Santana organized a tactical training session this Wednesday afternoon, in Gávea.

In the first part of the activity, on a reduced field, the reserve team attacked the starting lineup. The new additions were Cristian and Marcinho, replacing Diego Tardelli and Jônatas. Toró, who missed the victory over Vasco, also returned to the team. Joel fielded Bruno, Leó Moura, Fábio Luciano, Ronaldo Angelim, and Juan; Jailton, Cristian, Ibson, and Toró; and Marcinho and Souza.

In the second half, with the starting team going on the attack, Joel tested Jônatas as the first midfielder, in Jailton's place.
