One of the highlights of Flamengo who is in the final of the U20 World Cup is midfielder Rayan Lucas. The 19-year-old boy from the nest spoke to FlaTV about his expectations for the decision against Olympiacos of Greece on Saturday (24), at Maracanã, at 4pm. With the support of the red and black fans, Mais Querido will seek to win the title in a single game.


With the big day approaching, Rayan Lucas showed anxiety: “Right now, my heart is racing, anxious for the final. We've been working hard and, God willing, it will work out.”


In addition, the player commented on Mengão's preparation and valued psychologist Carol Muniz: “The preparation has been very good. I think we are on the path to doing our best. Do our best, because whatever comes on the other side, we will be prepared. Carolzinha (Carol Muniz), a psychologist, talks to us, sometimes individually or in the auditorium. So, this preparation is very good, taking care not only on the field, but also outside the field.”


Rayan was discovered by the red-black club at the age of 11 through the “Escola Flamengo” project. Also, he is one of the survivors of the Ninho Tragedy.

Flamengo takes to the field this Sunday (5), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), to face Bahia at Arena Fonte Nova, for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. However, in addition to the concern about the result, Filipe Luís' team needs to manage the risk of important suspensions for the next match, against Botafogo.


THREE PLAYERS AT RISK OF SUSPENSION


The main name among those suspended is Arrascaeta, Flamengo 's technical standout this season and a key player in the red-and-black formation . The Uruguayan will need to act cautiously to avoid receiving a third yellow card.


Another player under scrutiny is Colombian Carrascal , who also has two cards and could be out if he receives another warning. Rounding out the list is midfielder Allan, who divides opinion among fans, who is the third player at risk of suspension.

THE THRUSH IS STILL OUT, BUT IT IS ALSO HANGING


In addition to the available trio, midfielder Erick Pulgar is also suspended, although he remains out due to injury . The Chilean is recovering from a fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot and has no confirmed return date yet.

PROBABLE LINEUP AGAINST BAHIA

Of the suspended players, only Arrascaeta is expected to start. Flamengo 's likely starting lineup for the match in Salvador is: Rossi; Varela (Royal), Danilo, Léo Ortiz, and Ayrton Lucas; De la Cruz, Jorginho, and Arrascaeta; Plata (Carrascal), Samuel Lino (Cebolinha), and Pedro .

CLASSIC IN THE NEXT ROUND

After the clash at Fonte Nova, Flamengo returns to the field on Wednesday (15) to face Botafogo, at 7:30 pm, at Nilton Santos Stadium (Engenhão) . With three athletes at risk of suspension, Filipe Luís must guide the squad to act with discipline to avoid absences in the classic.
