Rubro-Negro enters the field from 21:30 (Brasília time)
Flamengo will face, this Tuesday (21), Independiente Del Valle at Banco Guayaquil Stadium, in Quito (Euqador), for the Recopa Sul Americana. The confrontation will start at 21:30 (Brasília time). After defeats in the Brazilian Super Cup and in the Club World Cup, the Rubro-Negro bet their chips to guarantee the first title of the season.
This will be the opening chapter of a decision whose plot comes to an end next Tuesday (28) at the Maracanã stadium.
If, in the 2020 edition of the competition, Flamengo, then led by Jorge Jesus, confirmed all its favoritism and won 5-2 on aggregate (with the right to a 3-0 triumph in Rio de Janeiro), the current team , directed by Vítor Pereira, is experiencing a moment of distrust.
It is good to remember that, after the 2020 Recopa title, Flamengo and Del Valle met again in the Libertadores group stage of the same year, with a 5-0 defeat by Ecuador in Quito and a 4-0 victory by the Brazilians in Rio. of January. However, at that moment, the Rubro-Negro was commanded by another coach who saw it as work to be contested, the Spaniard Domènec Torrent.
The expectation now is not so much for a rout victory with showy football, but for winning a title that guarantees the Rubro-Negro the necessary peace to move forward in the season that has just begun.
For this, coach Vítor Pereira spared the starters in the 2-0 victory over Resende last Saturday (18) for the Guanabara Cup of the Carioca Championship to launch his best in the decision against the Ecuadorians. And this best included the return of Everton Ribeiro to the starting XI, after the midfielder started on the bench against Volta Redonda.
One sure absence is Gerson, who is recovering from pain in his right ankle. With that, the Gávea team must take the field with: Santos; Varela, Fabrício Bruno, David Luiz and Ayrton Lucas; Thiago Maia, Vidal, Everton Ribeiro and Arrascaeta; Gabriel Barbosa and Pedro.
If Flamengo has to deal with the loss of titles at the beginning of the season, Del Vall arrives at the Recopa with little game rhythm. Despite having already measured forces with San Lorenzo (Argentina) and Deportivo Maldonado (Uruguay) in 2023, his only official match was the 3-0 victory over Aucas in the Ecuadorian Super Cup.
If Argentine coach Martín Anselmi decides to repeat the team that beat Aucas, Del Valle must enter the field against Flamengo with: Moisés Ramirez; Fernández, Schunke, García Basso, Carabajal and Beder Caicedo; Pellerano, Faravelli, Alcivar and Sornoza; Lautaro Diaz.
