With access to B confirmed, teams now go in search of the title
At 17h, Brasília time, the ball will roll at the Estádio Onésio Brasileiro Alvarenga, in Goiânia, for the first game of the final of the Brazilian Championship of Series C. The return will be next Saturday (30), in Mangueirão, in Belém.
Vila Nova qualified for the decision after finishing as leader of Group C. Last weekend, the team beat Ituano 1-0, away from home, and guaranteed not only the return to Serie B, but also in the final. of the championship. Tigre goes in search of the tri in Terceira. Vila have no problems between the starting line-up and must continue with the same team that beat Ituano heroically. The only embezzlement is Biancucchi, suspended for expulsion. Saimon, Mário Henrique, Dudu, Pablo, Adalberto and Yuri are hanging, which could be a problem for the next match, on the 30th.
After 13 years without playing in the Serie B, Remo thanks again to the fans. The team got access after defeating Paysandu, the biggest rival, by 1 to 0. However, the excitement for the access also has a climate of apprehension. The team reaches today’s decision with an outbreak of Covid-19 in the squad. Altogether there are 11 infected players, in addition to four members of the coaching staff. The Leão delegation that is in Goiânia, has only 17 athletes, three boys from the base who have not yet played in the professional. The team will be led by fitness coach Renan Capra, as coach Paulo Bonamigo and three other assistants tested positive as well.
Without the left-back and with few available midfielders, the formation of the team will have improvisations. Laison must play on the left side and Eduardo Ramos or Eron must play as center forward. The great list of absences has the following players: Mimica, Rafael Jansen, Warley, Marlon, Ronald, Gelson, Charles, Carlos Alberto, Dioguinho, Augusto and Salatiel (Covid-19); Dudu Mandai (posterior of the right thigh) and Hélio (rectum of the left thigh).
