Flamengo faces Cruzeiro at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the fifth round of the Brazilian Championship. Despite this, coach Leonardo Jardim conducted a training session for the red-black players this Wednesday (11th).
Just like hours before the game against Fluminense, for the final of the Carioca, Leonardo Jardim conducted a 'muscle activation' training session this Wednesday (11th). The activity focuses on increasing joint stability and mobility, as well as helping to reduce the risk of injuries and enhance the athletes' performance.
Therefore, the tendency is that the Flamengo players will be more 'active' physically for the game against Cruzeiro at Maracanã. The tendency, indeed, is that Leonardo Jardim will use this practice in all night games in which the Most Beloved plays in Rio de Janeiro.
It is important to highlight that Flamengo has not yet managed to win as a home team in the Brazilian Championship. Currently, the Red-Black played at Maracanã only once, in a 1-1 draw with Internacional.
The match between Flamengo and Cruzeiro is scheduled for 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (11th), at Maracanã. The duel, valid for the fifth round of the Brazilian Championship, will be broadcast by Rede Globo on open channel, by GETV on YouTube, and by Premiere on pay-per-view.
