After many tests, coach Rogério Lourenço seems to have found the ideal formation for Flamengo to make its debut in the Brazilian Championship, Wednesday (14.07), at 21 pm, against Botafogo, at Maracanã. The coach took advantage of the return of Kleberson, who was at the World Cup in South Africa, with the Brazilian national team, and the reinforcement of Correa, signed last week, to select the team that thrashed Olaria, this Saturday (10.07), by 5 to 0 at Gávea.

And the supporters' entrance was celebrated by the group's players. For midfielder Willians, who gave a press conference after the activity, Kleberson is essential to the squad, not only on but also off the field.

\

"Penta's (Kleberson) return has helped the group. He's a guy who knows how to attack and helps with marking. We needed that. The team is getting into sync so we can face Botafogo and not have too many difficulties," he said.

\

Defender Ronaldo Angelim, in an exclusive interview with Flamengo's official website, also praised the formation, which according to him, gained in experience.

\

"I believe the team is on the right track. Kleberson's return and Correa's arrival were important, they gave the team more experience and we hope to get a win against Botafogo on Wednesday," he added.
