What training did Filipe Luís give to Flamengo players before the game against Botafogo?

Flamengo is ready for another decisive match in the 2026 season. Filipe Luís even managed to give a special training session to the players in recent days at Ninho do Urubu, focusing on the classic match against Botafogo, for the quarter-finals of the Carioca.

According to information from GE, Filipe Luís conducted strength and power training during the three days of practice before Flamengo's game against Botafogo. These activities are seen as fundamental by the coach, as they will help the team evolve physically more easily.

Why are strength and power training important for Filipe Luís?

Filipe Luís also believes that Flamengo still needs to reach a better level of strength and power. These two aspects are crucial for the team to maintain high pressure and give fewer scoring opportunities to opponents during matches.

It is important to note that strength and power training have a higher load. Therefore, if there are matches within one or two days, Flamengo players cannot recover in time. However, since there was more preparation time for the classic against Botafogo, Filipe Luís was able to conduct the activity.

What time is the Flamengo vs. Botafogo game?

Flamengo faces Botafogo this Sunday (15th) at Nilton Santos, for the quarter-finals of the Carioca. The match is scheduled for 5:30 PM (Brasília time), with broadcast by Rede Globo on open channel and Premiere on pay-per-view.
