Flamengo's special plan for FIFA break; schedule and aims | OneFootball

Players believe the break from matches will be important to better absorb Leonardo Jardim’s methodology

Flamengo will have around ten days to put a special plan into practice during the FIFA international break. As a result, the Rubro-Negro will ‘combine’ rest with training sessions to refine Leonardo Jardim’s ideas with the players.

In short, according to the schedule released by Flamengo this week, the squad will have two consecutive days off: Monday (23) and Tuesday (24). However, on Wednesday (25), the team will report back at 4:00 PM (Brasília time) at Ninho do Urubu.

After three straight days of training — from Wednesday (25) to Friday (27) — the squad will rest again on Saturday (28). Finally, on Sunday (29), the players will have another training session at 10:00 AM (Brasília time) at the training center.

What is this week’s schedule?

*All activities are scheduled in Brasília time

It is worth noting that next week’s schedule has not been released yet. However, according to GE, Flamengo is expected to train on Monday and Tuesday, in addition to traveling on Wednesday for the match against Red Bull Bragantino.

What are Flamengo’s goals during this FIFA break?

In short, the Flamengo squad hopes to have time to calmly absorb Leonardo Jardim’s ideas. That is because, since the coach arrived, the Most Beloved has had a heavy run of matches, and now it will be the first time the Portuguese manager will have a period to focus on training and player preparation.

On the other hand, coach Leonardo Jardim believes the period will be good for improving processes and the match fitness of some athletes, especially those who have had limited minutes on the pitch. After the draw with Corinthians on Sunday (22), the Portuguese manager spoke about the matter:

— We’re going to rest for two days and then work to improve some processes. For some players who play less, the goal is to make sure they are ready, and that is the work strategy, and to start preparing for the next match -, he said.

When is Flamengo’s next match?

Flamengo’s next match is scheduled for April 2, against Red Bull Bragantino. The teams will face off starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Estádio Municipal Cicero De Souza Marques in São Paulo.
