The Flamengo is already lined up for the game against Internacional, in the first leg of the Libertadores of America. Among the 11 starters, three players will make their debut in the national competition. They are Samuel Lino, Jorginho, and Emerson Royal.
The athletes arrived at Flamengo with international baggage and accumulated several important games throughout their careers. However, even with this, Samuel Lino, Jorginho, and Emerson Royal have not yet played a Libertadores match. Thus, the first time happens at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (13), at Maracanã.
Yes! In addition to Samuel Lino, Jorginho, and Emerson Royal, Flamengo still has another player who has never played for Libertadores: Saúl Ñíguez. In this Wednesday's match (13), the Spanish midfielder does not start among the starters, but appears as an option on the bench.
Coach Filipe Luís can still promote the debut of Jorge Carrascal, recently hired by Flamengo. The Colombian was considered to start the match as a starter in the place of Arrascaeta, who serves an automatic suspension for the third yellow card. However, the rubro-negro coach chose to line up Luiz Araújo in the place of the number 10 shirt.
With debuts on the team, Flamengo takes to the field this Wednesday (13) to face Internacional, in the first leg of the Libertadores. The ball rolls at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã. In this way, the Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, brings the details of the match with the 'in loco' coverage of Leo José and Simon Lédo, on YouTube. Finally, Rede Globo (open channel), ESPN (closed), and Disney+ (streaming) broadcast the game.
