Many pieces available
The importance (of the squad) is enormous. From the moment Flamengo decided to assemble a qualified group, we knew we would have to use the players. We were aware of this narrowing of competitions, and the wear and tear is enormous. At some point, we would have to rotate the squad. Now, our full focus is on Chapecoense to continue our strong performance in the competition.
Chapecoense: six-point game?
Without a doubt. I'm putting Chapecoense in the running, yes, because they're a strong team, one that's been improving and has achieved consistent results. The fans are supportive and rested players against Cuiabá (in the South American). We expect a tough game and need to position ourselves accordingly.
Guerrero and Damião together
It's a possibility. We've already trained with this formation. We have him (Guerrero) back for the Brasileirão and Leandro Damião available. I don't rule it out, as they are both great players. We have to carefully consider the opponent's characteristics.
Achieve a second consecutive victory in the Brasileirão
In fact, we'd gone six games without losing, suffered a loss to Sporting and then got a result against a team that's a strong contender for the title (Grêmio). We intend to score points here in Chapecó. That's why we've been careful about rotating players because of these back-to-back games (Wednesday and Sunday). Sometimes it doesn't work out, but we have to remain confident in our plans. Now, it's time to focus on Chapecoense, play well, and leave here with a good result.
