The eve of a match is always eagerly anticipated by the Flamengo squad. After all, it's on this day that recreational training sessions, the famous "rachões" (soccer games), are held, where rivalry is fierce and humor is always high. However, on Tuesday, the last day of training before Wednesday's match against Universidad de Chile, coach Rogério Lourenço led a tactical session at the club's training center, Ninho do Urubu, in Vargem Grande.

Rogério practiced the team's offensive and defensive positioning, as well as set pieces for and against Flamengo. The tactical portion of the training session was closed to the press, who were only allowed to watch the recreational session. In a press conference, however, Rogério Lourenço made no bones about it and revealed the team that will take the field this Wednesday. Kleberson, who has been called up for the World Cup and is coming off two strong performances for Flamengo, is confirmed.

"Congratulations to Kleberson for the call-up, and for the performance he played against Corinthians and also for the game against São Paulo, nothing more fair than him starting tomorrow," explained the coach.

The starting lineup that trained this Tuesday and will take the field against "La U" is Bruno, Leonardo Moura, David, Ronaldo Angelim and Juan; Rômulo, Maldonado, Willians and Kleberson; Vagner Love and Adriano.
