Flamengo arrives with maximum strength, but with doubt in defense, for the Club World Cup final this Wednesday (17), against PSG (France). Indeed, Léo Ortiz and Danilo are competing for position alongside Leo Pereira in the red and black defense.
The former returned from injury in the team’s debut in the competition, against Cruz Azul (Mexico), but did not play against Pyramids (Egypt). This absence is due to a long period of absence from the field. The technical committee led by Filipe Luís then decided not to “force” the player, and selected Danilo in his place. The veteran even scored the team’s second goal of the match.
Another free spot among Flamengo’s starters is in attack. Everton Cebolinha, starter against the Egyptians, is in the running for a place alongside Bruno Henrique. Gonzalo Plata, however, goes first for the position. Pedro, who returned from injury against Pyramids, should remain an option on the bench.
Flamengo’s probable line-up for the Intercontinental final
Thus, Flamengo’s probable starter for the World Cup final against PSG must count on Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz (Danilo), Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Jorginho, Pulgar and Arrascaeta; Carrascal, Gonzalo Plata (Everton Cebolinha) and Bruno Henrique.
Flamengo and PSG face each other this Wednesday (17), at 2 p.m. (Brasilia time), at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium, in Al Rayyan (CAT), to decide the FIFA Intercontinental Cup.
