The Flamengo squad returned this Friday afternoon, in Gávea, to finalize the final details for the first game of the Campeonato Carioca final, Sunday, against Botafogo, at 16 pm, at Maracanã.

Coach Cuca took advantage of today's training session to work on the team's tactics. The Flamengo coach worked extensively on set pieces and corrected the team's positioning errors when playing crosses into the penalty area. Immediately afterward, he led a training session with 12 players on the field and named the starting lineup as follows: Bruno; Welinton, Everton Silva, Fábio Luciano, and Ronaldo Angelim; Léo Moura, Willians, Ibson, Kleberson, and Juan; Erick Flores and Emerson.

Zé Roberto, suffering from gastric discomfort, was spared from training. Cuca has already announced that if the number 10 is unable to participate in the final, Erick Flores will be his replacement. With pain in his right ankle, midfielder Airton also missed training and is unlikely to be on the field on Sunday.

After training, Cuca said that set pieces will be crucial in the Campeonato Carioca final.

"I worked a lot on set pieces in Wednesday's training session at Ninho do Urubu. We played over 100 balls into the penalty area. Today we trained this play extensively again. It will be important in the final, as I expect a very even match."
