Tomorrow is decision day! Flamengo held this Saturday morning (6), at Ninho do Urubu, the last training session before the second game of the Carioca final against Nova Iguaçu, which takes place this Sunday (7), at 17 pm, at Maracanã. Mengão won the first leg 3-0 and has a great advantage to win its 38th State title.
Coach Tite led a tactical drill to determine the starting lineup for the clash against the Baixada team. The red-and-black manager is counting on the return of De La Cruz, who missed the Libertadores debut due to a fever. Midfielder Gerson, who is recovering from surgery, is gradually returning to training with the squad.
Having conceded just one goal in the Campeonato Carioca, the Red-Blacks could equal a record if they win the title without conceding a goal. To date, only one team has won the Rio de Janeiro championship by conceding just one goal: Fluminense, in 1911.
Another notable milestone is that striker Pedro, the competition's top scorer with 11 goals (three more than Carlinhos), is very close to becoming the eighth Flamengo player to achieve this feat in the 2022st century. The last time was in XNUMX, when Gabi was the top scorer with nine goals.
