In this way, Rubro-Negro could take the lead in the Brasileirão this Sunday (2). After this Saturday's matches (1), Mais Querido fell from third to fifth position, but could return to the top of the table if they beat Vasco, as they have 11 points.

FLAMENGO AND SITUATION VASCO IN BRASILEIRÃO

O Flamengooccupies fifth place in the Brasileirão league table, behind only Botafogo, Internacional, Athletico-PR and Bahia, with 11 points. Vasco is in 13th place, with six.

SKILLS FOR TITE

Despite having a squad full of stars, Tite will have important absences this Sunday afternoon (2). This is because the Mais Querido coach will not be able to count on the presence of Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas, who are recovering from an injury. Thus, the starting team will have new faces.

On Saturday afternoon (28), Flamengo held its last training session before facing Athletico-PR in the Brasileirão. A clash that could decide the future of coach Tite at Mengão, was attended by all the players considered to be starters, despite the expectation of a mixed team for Sunday (29).

In content published on social media of Flamengo, names like Bruno Henrique and Alex Sandro, who were starters in the Libertadores elimination, last Thursday (26), appear alongside young fledglings, such as Matheus Gonçalves and Evertton, who have been widely used in the “reserve team ” by Tite.


Flamengo may have held the last training session under Tite's command.

With his destiny becoming more uncertain at Flamengo, Tite may having led his last training session as coach of Rubro-Negro. There are four games without a win, a bad result, or poorly presented football against Athletico-PR, could mean the end of the line for the coach, just under a year after his arrival.

In the semi-finals of Copa do Brasil, where they face Corinthians, and in the G4 of the Brasileirão, Rubro-Negro's objective is clear, to become CdB champion, and remain in the classification zone for the next Libertadores in the points championship.
