Rio – The unusual time of 11 am will make Flamengo change your schedule to the classic with Botafogo, next Sunday (28), at Maracanã. With the aim of being closer to the stadium and giving the players more rest for the duel that will be played in the morning, the club decided to focus on a hotel in Leme, in the South Zone of Rio. The information was first given by “ge”.
Normally, Flamengo tends to use the Ninho do Urubu structure in its concentrations. However, Rubro-Negro understood that the 40 km away from CT to Maracanã would force the cast to lose important sleep time for the classic. The hotel in Leme is 12 km from the stadium and will be occupied by the delegation on Saturday night (27).
The tendency is for Tite to use the best he has at his disposal to face Botafogo. The coach will count on the returns of Pedro, Arrascaeta, Erick Pulgar, Varela and Ayrton Lucas, who were spared from the altitude of La Paz in the game against BolÃvar.
In addition to them, midfielder Allan, who presented sickle cell symptoms that prevent him from performing at a high level at altitude, and defender Léo Pereira, recovered from a virus, will also be back. The only absence from the starting lineup will be Everton Cebolinha, who is recovering from a calf injury.
With 7 points, Flamengo occupies second place in the Brazilian Championship, behind Red Bull Bragantino only on goal difference. Rubro-Negro beat Atlético-GO and São Paulo and drew goalless with Palmeiras in the first rounds.
