Players hope Flamengo will have the support of the fans against Atlético-PR

Flamengo's players are rooting for the club's board to overturn the Superior Court of Justice (STJD) ruling, which ordered the club to play behind closed doors in the match against Atlético-PR on the 25th at Maracanã. No one on the squad can hide the importance the fans have had in the team's recovery in the Brazilian Championship, and they hope it won't be any different the last time Flamengo will play at home in the competition. "When we step onto the field and see a packed stadium, we get even more motivated. I hope we can count on our fans against Atlético-PR, and I'm even betting that another attendance record will be broken. The fans are important in this fight to reach the Libertadores," commented forward Souza, who, like the other players, participated in the medical evaluation conducted yesterday at Gávea. Tomorrow, the evaluation will continue with physical tests at a clinic in the South Zone.
