Leonardo Jardim was officially presented by Flamengo this Thursday (05), after a training session held at Ninho do Urubu. With only a few days at Mais Querido, the Portuguese coach already shows different habits from the previous manager regarding pre-match concentration.
This is because Leonardo Jardim likes to implement pre-match concentration the day before home games. On the other hand, under Filipe Luís, the Flamengo squad was released after the previous day's training and only needed to report back on the morning of the match, just hours before kickoff.
Thus, with Leonardo Jardim, the routine of players sleeping at the Ninho do Urubu training center on the days of home games may return for the rubro-negro athletes. This information was published by journalist Venê Casagrande.
Leonardo Jardim arrives at Flamengo to replace Filipe Luís, who was dismissed in the early hours of Tuesday (03). Therefore, the new rubro-negro coach was presented this Thursday (05). He has already kicked off his work with an eye on the final of the Campeonato Carioca.
This is because Flamengo faces Fluminense on Sunday (08), at 6pm (Brasília time), in the final of the Campeonato Carioca, at Maracanã. Finally, it is worth mentioning that the match is a single-leg final. Whoever wins takes home the state tournament trophy.
As usual, Coluna do Fla will bring all the information from the final live from Maracanã. In addition, TV Globo, on free-to-air TV, will broadcast the match. Finally, SporTV, on cable television, and GE TV, on YouTube, will also air the clash that decides the trophy.
