This Sunday, Flamengo is preparing for one of the most anticipated clashes of the season: the classic against Vasco, valid for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. For the match, coach Tite confirmed an important news for the red and black squad: the debut of Alex Sandro, recently hired, who will start at left-back, replacing Ayrton Lucas, suspended due to accumulation of cards.
< Also, another news for Flamengo could be the participation of striker Gonzalo Plata, recently arrived at the club. Although he is not considered to start playing, Plata will be available on the bench and could make his debut during the second half, according to the technical committee's assessment during the game. DES PREMIERE STARSAlex Sandro's arrival at Flamengogenerated great expectations among fans. The left-back, who built a solid career in Europe, especially in Italian football, where he played for Juventus for many years, is seen as a key player in strengthening the Red and Black defense. His international experience, both for clubs and for the Brazilian national team, is considered a great asset for Tite's team, which seeks to provide more balance to the defensive system.
Ayrton Lucas' suspension made room for Alex Sandro, and his debut could not come at a more crucial time. The classic against Vasco is always a match of great rivalry and pressure, and the presence of a player with Alex Sandro's CV promises to give greater security to the red and black defense. The expectation is that he will contribute not only with defensive solidity, but also with quality in supporting the attack, one of his main characteristics in his international career.

The technical committee of Flamengo has already made the decision to select Alex Sandro for the match against Vasco, scheduled for next Sunday. Even without playing since May 25th, the left-back has been training normally since joining the club and, in addition, managed to maintain his physical condition during the period he was without a club.
Flamengo is looking of reinforcements to fill gaps in the squad and, by bringing in Alex Sandro, the team hopes to have an experienced player who can contribute immediately. The decision to use him in the next match highlights the coaching staff's confidence in his physical preparation and his ability to quickly integrate into the team. Although Alex Sandro spent a few months without participating in official matches, his dedication to training and maintaining his physical form outside of competitions are positive points that weighed in favor of his selection.
FLAMENGO AND TITE HAVE AN AGREEMENT BY DEBUTAlex Sandro's last official match took place in the first half of 2024. Since then, the player has not been linked to any club, which raised doubts about his physical form. However, after arriving at Flamengo, Alex Sandro underwent an intense training routine under the supervision of the technical committee, which guaranteed his playing condition. The player also took advantage of the time he was away from the field to maintain individualized physical preparation, which made it easier for him to adapt to the pace of training at the club.
The full-back, known for his international experience and spells at major European clubs, arrives at Flamengo with the responsibility of strengthening the defensive sector and offering more options to the coach on the left side. Expectations surrounding his debut are high, not only because of Flamengo's need to reinforce their defense, but also because of the importance of the classic against Vasco, a game always surrounded by great rivalry and pressure.
On the other hand, the use of Alex Sandro at this moment also raises questions about his lack of game rhythm, given that, in addition to not playing official matches for over three months, he needs to quickly adapt to the team's style of play and at the level of competition of the Brazilian Championship. The coaching staff, however, believes that the player is capable of making a good debut and contributing both defensively and offensively, as Alex Sandro is known for his ability to advance the attack and make dangerous crosses.
