Flamengo is scheduled to face Atletico, at eight o’clock in the evening, at the Maracanã Stadium. Tite has changed the squad and mixed the squad with regulars and reserve players, and is also considering the midweek match against Corinthians in the Brazilian Cup.
The main surprise is the presence of Gabigol in the starting lineup. The last time the No. 99 started for Flamengo was almost two months ago, on August 3, in a 1-0 defeat against São Paulo, in matchday 21 of the Brazilian League.
The entire defensive system is reserve, with one exception. Leo Ortiz, who used to play as a midfielder, today returns to his original position in defence. With him, David Luiz, Wesley and Ayrton Lucas form the defense line.
