Flamengo returns to the field on Thursday (31), when they clash with Atlético-MG. Therefore, this Wednesday (30), Filipe Luís leads the team's final training session before the first leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16. Additionally, the coach will decide the starting lineup for the match at Maracanã.
Initially, Filipe Luís plans to rest some players. However, if he wants to repeat the lineup that faced Atlético-MG in the Brasileirão, the lineup would be: Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, and Viña; Allan, Jorginho, and Arrascaeta; Bruno Henrique, Plata, and Pedro. However, the team will still be decided in the training session on Wednesday afternoon (30).
In summary, according to Flamengo's schedule, the red-black team begins the last activity before the first leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16 in a training session on Wednesday afternoon (30). The training is set to start at 3:30 PM (Brasília time) at Ninho do Urubu.
Thus, at the training center, Filipe Luís will decide the starting lineup for Flamengo against Atlético-MG. It's worth noting that, despite the probable lineup mentioned above, the red-black coach is expected to field a different team. This is because, as mentioned earlier, the last training session will determine the initial team.
In summary, Flamengo is the current champion of the Copa do Brasil. This is because, in 2024, the Most Beloved overcame Atlético-MG in the home and away games. First, at Maracanã, Fla defeated the Minas Gerais team 3-1. Then, at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte, the Red-Black secured the title by winning the match 1-0.
It's important to highlight that SporTV, on the subscription channel, and Premiere, through pay-per-view, will broadcast the Flamengo game against Atlético-MG live. On the other hand, on Coluna do Fla TV, red-black fans can check all the details of the post-match press conference.
