After this afternoon's tactical training session at Gávea, coach Andrade confirmed attacking midfielder Zé Roberto in the starting lineup that will face Internacional on Sunday at Beira-Rio. Praised by the Flamengo coach, the number 26 said that Flamengo had a good preparation throughout the week and will be ready to play a great match.

“We are evolving and I believe we will be even more prepared on Sunday. It’s an important game against a great team, and we know it will be complicated. But it’s a match to confirm our good form. A victory would put us in a very good situation, close to the top four. We will be going for the three points.”
