The week for Flamengo promises excitement. This is because the team led by Leonardo Jardim has two important matches ahead, on Wednesday (11) and Saturday (14), respectively. With the upcoming matches against Cruzeiro and Botafogo, both in the Brasileirão, the Rio de Janeiro club has set the complete schedule for the week.
After winning the Campeonato Carioca against Fluminense, the red-black squad returned at 10 a.m. (Brasília time) this Monday (09), at the CT Ninho do Urubu. On Tuesday (10), the players will train again at 5 p.m. (Brasília time). Afterwards, they will remain concentrated at the CT.
On Wednesday (11), Leonardo Jardim will lead a ‘muscle activation’ session with the players at 11 a.m. (Brasília time), shortly before the match against Cruzeiro at Maracanã, for the fifth round of the Brasileirão. This is because the coach adheres to the methodology of training on match days.
After the match against Cruzeiro, the red-black squad will not have a break. On Thursday (12) and Friday (13), Leonardo Jardim will conduct training sessions in preparation for the match against Botafogo. On Saturday (14), the Rubro-Negro will face the alvinegro team at the Nilton Santos Stadium, for the sixth round of the Brasileirão.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide full coverage of both Mengão games. Additionally, the team will be present at the stadiums, ensuring all the information directly from the location of the matches.
