0This Wednesday (25), Flamengo is preparing for an important clash against Grêmio in the 29th round of the Brazilian Championship. The highlight of the match is the change in the red and black attack, with Everton Cebolinha returning to the starting lineup in place of Bruno Henrique. This marks a long-awaited return, as Cebolinha spent seven games in reserve. The last time Everton Cebolinha played as a starter was on September 13, when Flamengo faced Atlético-PR and was defeated 3-0.
Since then, there have been seven matches in which the striker did not appear among the starting eleven, being on the bench in two of them and coming on during the second half on five other occasions. During the current season, Cebolinha participated in 52 matches with the Flamengo shirt, being selected as a starter in 22 of them. In these opportunities, he contributed four goals and eight assists to his teammates. However, in the last 14 games, number 11 started the game on the field just once and was not even used in six matches.
The reason behind the change in the red-black attack is concern about Bruno Henrique's health. After examinations carried out at Flamengo's Medical Department, it was found that the player presents a high risk of injury if he enters the field this Thursday (25). For this reason, coach Tite decided to preserve Bruno Henrique, avoiding any worsening of his physical condition, and chose to choose Everton Cebolinha in his place. The decision to spare Bruno Henrique aims not only at the duel against Grêmio, but also at maintaining the player's physical integrity for future commitments, as his presence is crucial for Flamengo's performance for the remainder of the season.

Flamengo , even playing away from home, enters the field confident, knowing that the pressure is more on the opponent's shoulders.

For the Rio team, a victory in the South would be another opportunity to strengthen its dominance over the opponent, in addition to adding three important points in the title race. For Grêmio, beating Flamengo would be the chance to reverse this "parish" and show that it is still capable of competing on equal terms with the giants of national football.
