Coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo has yet to reveal how he will set up the Flamengo team for next Saturday's (November 13.11th) match against Atlético-MG at Arena do Jacaré. This is especially concerning given the number of players unavailable. Petkovic and Kleberson, recovering from injury, are still not confirmed, and Renato and Deivid, suspended due to receiving their third yellow card in the game against Atlético-PR, will not play.

One of the options is the young Guilherme Negueba, who made his first start last Sunday (November 07.11th) and impressed. The Flamengo coach praised the boy's dedication after the match and expressed confidence in the player's gradual improvement.

"Negueba is a talented, audacious boy who knows how to play football. He's not afraid of a tough opponent. A Flamengo player is emerging who will work hard, like Diego Maurício and Welinton. Young Flamengo players who will have opportunities. He had a very good performance. I took him off in the second half because he needed a little more experience. He slowed down a bit," he said.

Negueba spoke with the official website team and said he is prepared for whatever Luxa's plans are for his future. According to the number 36, regardless of whether he is a starter or an option for next weekend's match, he will work the same way.

"If coach Vanderlei wants me in the next round, I'll be ready to help. My debut could have been better, but I think it was good for me, given the circumstances. Of course, I had normal anxiety. Unfortunately, the team didn't get the victory, a result that would have been very important for Flamengo, and that certainly wasn't good, but we have to keep working. The next rounds are very important," he concluded.
