Flamengo beat Coritiba 3-0 this Saturday (30), in the 18th round of the Brasileirão. Now, the Rubro-Negro squad is heading on vacation and will then prepare for the mid-season training camp in Portugal. With that, Rubro-Negro has defined the three opponents it will face in friendlies.
According to reporting by Coluna do Fla, Falkirk (Scotland), Birmingham (England), and Benfica (Portugal) will be Flamengo's opponents in the friendlies. Rubro-Negro is expected to face the Scottish side on July 3 or 4, while the match against the English team is scheduled for the 8th. Finally, the clash with the Portuguese club would be the last in the sequence, on the 11th of the same month.
After the 3-0 win over Coritiba this Saturday (30), the Rubro-Negro squad will go on vacation. Thus, the players will report back on June 19 at the Ninho do Urubu training center.
Then, on June 28, the Flamengo delegation will travel to the Algarve, in Portugal, where it will stay from June 29 to July 11. It is worth noting that Fla's first match after the World Cup is scheduled for July 22, against Chapecoense, in the 19th round of the Brasileirão.
Flamengo's trip to Portugal is being funded by the company SingularSport. In other words, Rubro-Negro will not spend anything during the training period outside the country.
Nine Fla players were called up for the World Cup and are available to their national teams. They are: Danilo, Alex Sandro, Léo Pereira, Paquetá, Arrascaeta, De La Cruz, Varela, Carrascal.
