In his Flamengo debut, coach Rogério Ceni chose Diego Alves in the starting line-up and as captain. The experienced goalkeeper had been a substitute since returning from a shoulder injury, leaving room for young Hugo Souza. The red and black team faces São Paulo, in Maracanã, in the first match of the quarterfinals of the Brazilian Cup.
The last match of jersey 1 among the top 11 was at the end of August, against Santos, for the Brazilian Championship. At that time, he was replaced by Caesar in the second half. Diego Alves continues negotiating the renewal of the contract with the club.
Another novelty in the starting eleven is striker Gabigol. The player, who recently suffered a right ankle injury, was left as an option on the bench against Atlético-MG, last Sunday. It should be remembered that Pedro, like Everton Ribeiro, is with the Brazilian team.
Thus, Fla takes to the field with: Diego Alves, Matheuzinho, Gustavo Henrique, Leo Pereira and Renê; Willian Arão, Gerson and Vitinho; Bruno Henrique, Michael and Gabigol.
