The new champion of the Copa do Brasil will be announced this Sunday afternoon (10). This is because Atlético-MG and Flamengo face off at 4pm (Brasília time) in Belo Horizonte in the second leg of the competition’s final round. THE National Radio broadcasts the game live.
Rubro-Negro da Gávea arrives at the clash with a considerable advantage, after winning 3-1 in the first leg, last Sunday (3) at the Maracanã stadium. However, even with this panorama, coach Filipe Luís preaches respect for Galo: “Maximum respect for Atlético-MG, for the great team. He’s a Libertadores finalist, he has a great coach, he plays great football. It will be complicated. We are a long way from this cup, in the same way they are. For me it’s 50-50, and we have to play a solid game.”
