Experiencing opposite moments in the season, Vasco and Flamengo dispute the classic for the 9th round of the Brazilian Championship, starting at 8 pm (Brasília time) this Monday (5) at the Maracanã stadium. National Radio broadcasts the match live. Occupying the penultimate position of the national competition ranking with six points won, Cruzmaltino has a very negative start to the season. Outside the Copa do Brasil and without playing in an international competition, the team from São Januário has eight matches without victories in the Brazilian Championship, with a sequence of three consecutive defeats, the last one 2-0 to Fortaleza at the Castelão stadium.

We have nothing to complain about the players, because each one is going to the limit. They feel the moment we are going through, but we have to be wise to know that there are still many games to be played in the Brazilian Championship. We are in a position that we would not like, but we know that the team is evolving”. A reinforcement for the classic is striker Pedro Raul, who was suspended in the last round. The right-back should have the return of Uruguayan Pumita Rodríguez. With that, Vasco must enter the field with: Léo Jardim; Pumita, Capasso, Léo and Piton; Jair, Galaza, Carabajal and Alex Teixeira; Pec and Pedro Raul. Despite not yet occupying the top positions in the Brazilian Championship, Flamengo is experiencing a moment of recovery in the season, especially after the 2-0 victory over Fluminense, last Thursday (1), which qualified it for the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil. After qualifying for the Copa do Brasil, Mengão returned to work this Saturday (03), at CT! 🔴⚫ #VamosFlamengo📸: Marcelo Cortes /CRF pic.twitter.com/dEfog5ZeGo — Flamengo (@Flamengo) June 3, 2023 When asked about the next challenges for the Rubro-Negro, Jorge Sampaoli said, in an interview given after qualifying in the Copa do Brasil, which your team has to be prepared for: “Flamengo has to be prepared. I’m already thinking about Monday’s classic [contra o Vasco]. Then I think about Racing [próximo compromisso pela Libertadores]. I cannot think of Racing before Vasco. I think that at the club I’m at, which in my career is the biggest I’ve ever been to, I have to think game by game. That’s the mindset.” However, for the classic with Vasco, the Argentine coach has some problems to choose his team. With a discomfort in the posterior muscle of the left thigh, defender Léo Pereira is sure embezzlement. Another possible absence is striker Gabriel Barbosa, who left the field for Fla-Flu with a lot of pain in his left leg. Thus, a possible Flamengo for the game is: Matheus Cunha; Wesley, Fabrício Bruno, David Luiz and Ayrton Lucas; Pulgar, Pablo Maia, Gerson and Arrascaeta; Pedro and Gabigol (Everton Cebolinha).
