After Friday afternoon's tactical training, supporter Ibson said Flamengo has a group accustomed to making important decisions and matches. According to the number 7, this is one of the red-and-black team's strengths for Sunday's Taça Rio final against Botafogo at Maracanã.

"We have a successful group, accustomed to important matches and decisive matches. Of course, we've had some setbacks, like being eliminated from the Copa Libertadores, but the group is mature and doesn't feel the pressure. We have experienced players on the team, which makes things even easier. It's going to be a very difficult match, and we need to be calm and composed to play well and win the title."
