Flamengo played their second friendly of the mid-season break in Portugal last Wednesday (08). At the Algarve Stadium, Leonardo Jardim’s team beat Lausanne Sport (SUI) 2-0, with goals from Lorran and Wallace Yan. In the match, Ayrton Lucas went off with muscle pain.
However, this Friday (10), Coluna do Fla’s reporters, who were present at Flamengo’s training session in Portugal, found that the full-back had returned to normal training. It is worth noting that, on Thursday (09), the player did not take part in training with the ball.
Another point worth highlighting is that Ayrton Lucas feeling pain during the friendly led to a curious episode. Lorran, who had already been substituted, returned to the game after the full-back asked coach Leonardo Jardim to come off.
In short, Flamengo opened the scoring against Lausanne Sport six minutes into the second half. Johnny started a move down the left side of the attack and found Wallace Yan with a pass. After controlling the ball, the forward delivered a perfectly weighted assist for Lorran, who only had to tap it into the net to make it 1-0.
Later, in the 26th minute, it was Wallace Yan’s turn to get his goal. The player received “a gift” from a Lausanne Sport defender and doubled Flamengo’s lead: 2-0. After that, with the game more under control, Leonardo Jardim made a series of changes to the team to give minutes and assess the performances of the youth academy players.
Flamengo will now return to the pitch to face Benfica (POR) this Saturday (11), in the third and final friendly of the mid-season break in Portugal. Meanwhile, the match kicks off at 3 p.m. Brasília time, also at the Algarve Stadium.
As usual, Coluna do Fla is following every detail of Flamengo’s mid-season break and friendlies in Portugal, with on-site coverage from Rock Hudson and Simon Lédo. Finally, Band (free-to-air TV), GE TV (YouTube) and SporTV (pay TV) will broadcast the match.
Since he took part in this Friday’s training session (10), Ayrton Lucas is not a concern for Flamengo for the remainder of the mid-season break in Portugal. Therefore, the full-back should be available to Leonardo Jardim for Saturday’s (11) friendly against Benfica.
Finally, Flamengo will only return to official action on July 22. On that occasion, the Rubro-Negro side will face Chapecoense in a match valid for the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship. In addition, the clash will be played away from home at Arena Condá.
