Flamengo and Independiente del Valle (EQU) have already decided to release another version of Recopa Sol Americana.
Flamengo and Independiente del Valle (EQU) meet again in Recopa Sudamericana. This year’s edition repeats the same match in 2020, when Mingo became the champion after a draw and victory. This time, the Ecuadorians will not see one of the enforcers of that crucial match three years ago: Gerson.
In 2020, Flamengo and Indiana. Del Valle tied 2-2 in Ecuador. However, at the Maracanã, Robro Negro won 3-0 and won the Recopa title. On that occasion, Gabigol and Gerson scored for Mingo. The midfielder scored two goals, both in the second half, becoming one of the enforcers of the Ecuadorian team. In this year’s edition, the “Joker” is an embezzlement of Fla.
Gerson suffered a tackle last Wednesday (15th) against Volta Redonda for Cariocao. The steering wheel underwent treatment in the medical department, but the pain did not stop. After Sunday’s events (19), it was decided that the number 20 jersey would not be going to Ecuador, so it wasn’t even included.
Without one of Independiente del Valle’s executioners, Vitor Pereira is tempted to put Arturo Vidal in the starting line-up, along with Thiago Maia. Gerson remains in Rio de Janeiro, being treated by Flamengo’s medical department. The presence of the No. 20 player in the second leg, on February 28, is still uncertain, but it should happen.
Flamengo and Independiente del Valle will meet at 9:30 pm (Brasilian time) next Tuesday (21), at Banco Guayaquil Stadium, in Quito, Ecuador. Fla’s Column is broadcasting the duel live via YouTube. ESPN and Star+ also show The Clash, but through closed channels.
