0Coach Tite will make five changes to Flamengo for the match against Bahia in the Copa do Brasil. In the last game, against Corinthians, Rossi, Varela, David Luiz, Pulgar and Pedro started the duel as starters. However, in addition to Pedro, injured, the other athletes mentioned must go to the bench for the appearance of Matheus Cunha, Wesley, Léo Pereira, Allan and Arrascaeta. Gabigol will be an option in reserve.
Therefore, Flamengo's likely lineup for this game Thursday (13), against Bahia, at 9:45 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, is made up of: Matheus Cunha; Wesley, Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Allan, Léo Ortiz, Gerson and Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo and Bruno Henrique. The information was given by journalist Venê Casagrande, from SBT.
During the last preparation training at Ninho do Urubu, coach Tite even removed Allan to add another attacker. However, this winger's name was not revealed.

In addition to Gabigol, Tite has young Lorran, Shola and Matheus Gonçalves as an attack option.
As they won 1-0 in the first leg with a goal from Bruno Henrique, Flamengo could even draw at Maracanã against Bahia, which qualifies for the semi-finals of the Copa do Brasil. On the other side, Rubro-Negro awaits the winner of Corinthians x Juventude. In the first game, the Gauchos won 2-1 in Rio Grande do Sul.
In the match in Salvador, Gabigol was recovering from an injury to the back of his thigh and was not used. Now, it becomes an option at Flamengo.

0Flamengo is experiencing a phase of important reinforcements to strengthen the squad, and one of the new players is striker Gonzalo Plata, who arrives at the club showing great enthusiasm. The 22-year-old Ecuadorian, who recently signed a contract with Rubro-Negro, has publicly expressed his expectations regarding the new phase of his career, especially in competitions such as the Libertadores and in decisive games at Maracanã.
When asked about his expectations of playing for Flamengo, Plata was clear in his statements. “I saw a lot of videos of what Flamengo can do in Libertadores finals and cup finals at Maracanã. Just watching the video gives me goosebumps, I imagine being there with everyone shouting, singing, being able to score a goal and everyone screaming”, said the player, highlighting the impact that the fans have on his perception. The atmosphere created by the fans at Maracanã is something that Plata admires, and he already sees himself experiencing remarkable moments in front of thousands of red and black fans.
Plata's excitement isn't just limited to the emotional aspect of being in front of a passionate crowd. The player also sees his arrival at Flamengo as an opportunity to consolidate your career at a high-level club. Known for his speed, dribbling ability and ability to play both on the sides of the field and as a central player, Plata is seen as a player who can add a lot to the team led by Jorge Sampaoli.
At 22 years old , the attacker has a promising trajectory. Revealed in the youth teams of Independiente del Valle, in Ecuador, Plata caught the attention of European clubs by standing out in South American football. This resulted in his transfer to Sporting in Portugal, where he began to gain experience in international competitions. However, it was in La Liga, defending the colors of Real Valladolid, that the young player showed much of his potential. At the Spanish club, Plata gained notoriety for his speed and ability to break the opponent's lines, skills that can now be explored at Flamengo.
