0Flamengo returns to the field on Thursday (22), when they face Bolívar (BOL), in La Paz, Bolivia. Therefore, this Wednesday (21), Tite leads the last training session for the red and black squad before the return game of the round of 16 final of the Copa Libertadores da América.
The Flamengo squad will perform from 9 am (Brasília time) this Wednesday (21). At the Ninho do Urubu CT, the red and black players start their activity at around 9:30 am (Brasília time), focusing on the game against Bolívar.
So, at the CT, Tite defines Flamengo's starting team that will face Bolívar. For the match, the expectation is that Rubro-Negro will have many changes, as they will have important absences. However, training this Wednesday (21) will define the starting team that takes the field.
In short, Flamengo arrives at the match with an advantage, as they won the first leg, at Maracanã , by 2 to 0. However, red and black fans are concerned about Bolívar's power of reaction at an altitude of 3,640 meters above sea level.
