Botafogo squad: Tequenho Soares trains and goes to the match against Flamengo | Botafogo

Hey Botafogo He will once again be the top scorer of the Brazilian championship in the match against Flamengo, on Saturday, at 9 pm, at Nilton Santos, in the matches of the 22nd matchday. Striker Tequinio Soares, who has recovered from a knee injury, has trained with the team and will be included in the match list. However, there is still no confirmation as to whether or not he will be in the starting line-up – Bruno Lage would only confirm hours before the game.

Coach Bruno Lage has a procedure of not deciding which team will start the match until the match day briefing. Whether or not a 9 will be a primary will depend on how many minutes his physiology understands he can play without risking his physique.

Victor SA and Eduardo took a break in the middle of the week, in the 2-1 defeat to Defensa e Justicia in the Copa Sudamericana that saw Alvinegra eliminated from the continental competition. Victor SA and Eduardo also return to the squad this weekend.

Bruno Lage is looking for alternatives in the Botafogo squad, especially on the right wing. The coach tested the formation with Tchê Tchê forming the attacking right wing and that is one possibility this weekend against Flamengo, should he choose to play with Gabriel Pires in the middle.

The other alternative is to use one of the main wingers in the sector and leave Gabriel Pires or Chi Chi on the bench. In this case, it’s Luis Henrique, who was in the starting line-up against Defensa on the left midweek, who starts out front in contention, using the two-sided formation that worked in the second half against Internacional. .

Possible line-up: Lucas Perry; de Placido, Adrilsson, Cuesta, Marsal; Marlon Freitas, Gabriel Perez, Eduardo; Junior Santos (Segovinha), Diego Costa (Tequinho Soares), Victor SA.

Focusing on just one competition from now on, Botafogo will have two weeks of training during the Data Fifa break after Bruno Lage’s classic against Flamengo to work out more options in search of the final race for the Brazilian league title. Alvinegro will only play again on September 16, against Atlético MG, at 9pm, at the MRV Arena.
