Flamengo beat Remo 1-0 last Sunday (06) in the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. After the match at Mangueirão Stadium, the Rubro-Negro squad was not given a day off and trained in Belém on Monday (07). Now, on Tuesday (08), Leonardo Jardim continues preparing the team for the next commitment of the season, this time in Quito, Ecuador.
According to the schedule released by Flamengo, the squad will report back at 10 a.m. (local time) this Tuesday (08). At LDU’s training center, Leonardo Jardim will lead the first training session at altitude, focusing on the match against Independiente del Valle (ECU), in the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals. Coluna do Fla will be on site, bringing images from the session.
It is worth noting that Flamengo’s next challenge takes place on Thursday (10). That way, the coaching staff will have two training sessions at an altitude of 2,850 meters above sea level to prepare the squad.
Flamengo and Independiente del Valle face each other this Thursday (10) in the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals. Kickoff is at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Estádio Olímpico Atahualpa in Quito.
The clash marks another chapter in the Rubro-Negro journey. A win is crucial for Leonardo Jardim’s men to take an advantage in the race for a place in the continental tournament semifinals. That is because the second leg will take place on September 17 (Thursday) at the Maracanã.
If Mengão is on the field, Coluna do Fla keeps Rubro-Negro fans informed about every detail of the matches through the website and social media. In addition, Simon Lédo, Rock Hudson, and Rodrigo Lima are ‘in loco,’ bringing all the details directly from the Ecuadorian capital. Finally, ESPN (cable TV) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the match.
