Flamengo introduced coach Leonardo Jardim this Thursday (05), at Ninho do Urubu. In one of the questions, the Portuguese coach pointed out two similarities with the work methodology of Jorge Jesus, the former Flamengo coach.
— The main similarity is the passion for the game. His career is similar to mine. We didn't start in the first division and this similarity brought us closer. In terms of play, we like to be dominant teams, that play to win -, he said, before concluding:
— Strategically, I am more adaptable to what is available in the squad. He usually buys many players to develop the idea -, said Leonardo Jardim, in a press conference on Thursday (05), at Ninho do Urubu.
Currently, Jorge Jesus is at Al Nassr (SAU), Cristiano Ronaldo's team. Meanwhile, Leonardo Jardim is starting his journey as the coach of Flamengo. The Portuguese coach's first match with the Rubro-Negro will be the final of the Campeonato Carioca.
Therefore, Flamengo will face Fluminense on Sunday (08), at Maracanã, in the single match of the Campeonato Carioca final. The match is scheduled for 6 PM (Brasília time), with coverage by Coluna do Fla on all social media platforms.
