The Atlético-MG officially presented midfielder Alexsandro on Monday (04), in Belo Horizonte, before the match against Flamengo, for the Copa do Brasil. Thus, the new reinforcement of the Minas Gerais team mentioned the special taste of facing the most beloved team and projected the classification to the quarterfinals.
— Special game because it's a big team, always playing in finals. So, it has a different flavor because of that, because we know the game is difficult, decided by details. And the level always rises in games like this. We will get the result we want —, said Alexsandro, on Monday (04).
In the first game, Flamengo fell behind Atlético-MG in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. This is because, at Maracanã, the Minas Gerais team won 1-0. After a defensive error by the red and black team, Cuello scored the goal that guaranteed the victory.
Thus, Flamengo will need to reverse the situation to qualify for the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil. To advance, the team led by Filipe Luís needs to win by two goals in the Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte. If they win by just one goal, the decision will be made on penalties.
Thus, Flamengo faces Atlético-MG on Wednesday (06), at 19h (Brasília time), at the Arena MRV, in the return match of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. In this way, Coluna do Fla brings all the information directly from Belo Horizonte.
