The Amazon team receives the red-black team next Wednesday
|
Flamengo and Amazonas face each other this Wednesday (22), at 9:30 pm, at Arena da Amazônia, for the return of the third phase of the Copa do Brasil. While Fla had a week to prepare, as Série A was suspended, the opponent continued the marathon and drew with Paysandu, on Saturday (18). After the game, coach Adilson Batista spoke about physical exhaustion and did not rule out changes to face Fla.
The coach opted to choose a practically starting team to face Paysandu, but the result was just a 1-1 draw at home . The initial planning was to spare athletes, and he admits that the decision could increase problems with wear before Amazonas x Flamengo. On the other hand, he also shows confidence in the options he has in the squad.
“We have thermography, physiology, massage staff, the DM's back office and talking to some of them I would even make changes, but we decided to permanence. We know about wear and tear, it's difficult when we have this streak. Sometimes you talk about casting, spare parts, changes. And you have to keep doing it. It's a characteristic of the squad itself too, it's understanding what it has”, said Adilson Batista.
The team had six changes in relation to the one that faced Flamengo at Maracanã, whether due to the return of athletes, technical option or embezzlements. Goalkeeper Marcão and defender Miranda, for example, became starters in the last few games by choice of the coach.
“We have to think game by game, it's another competition. I asked for the game with Paysandu to be played on Sunday, precisely because of the wear and tear, but we were not accommodated. I knew we would have a lot of wear and tear. It's thinking game by game. Trying to recover them, Monday we started working and we thought about the difficult game for the Copa do Brasil”, he stated in another response.
The only sector in which the coach really managed to rest the starters was the attack, which only had Matheus Serafim in the starting lineup against Paysandu. Sassá, who is recovering from injury, and William Barbio, rested, should return to the starting lineup in the Copa do Brasil. The two are the team's top scorers this season, with seven goals.
It is worth remembering that Flamengo has the advantage of a draw in the game for victory at Maracanã. In other words, Amazonas will have to attack and try to win by at least one goal to take the fight to penalties.
Like Rubro-negro, Martial suffered from injuries in 2023/24

Defender is the first of the current injured players to be reinstated after knee sprain
|
With the medical department currently full, Flamengo tries to empty it by half during the FIFA Data. One has already gone: Léo Pereira. Recovered from a sprain in his left knee, the defender has already trained normally with the group this Friday and is once again available to Tite.
But the club is also rushing to give the coach three more options in the game against Bahia in the next Thursday, at 9:45 pm (GMT) at Maracanã, qualifying for a place in the semi-finals of the Copa do Brasil. Gabigol, Arrascaeta and De la Cruz are not yet training with the ball, but they have a chance of returning in time.
Gabigol is the one who has been out the longest: he injured his right thigh on August 15, in 2-0 victory over Bolívar at Maracanã, and has been undergoing treatment ever since. Three days later, it was Arrascaeta's turn to feel a problem in his left thigh in the 4-1 defeat suffered against Botafogo at Nilton Santos. And De la Cruz injured his right thigh on the 28th, in the 1-0 win over Bahia at Fonte Nova.
De la Cruz's injury was light and has a recovery period of two to three weeks. Against Bahia next Thursday, there will be exactly two weeks of treatment. The expectation is that the three will return to training with the ball in the coming days and will be reinstated to the squad at the beginning of next week.
