Leonardo Jardim steps up Flamengo training during international break | OneFootball

Rubro-Negro squad has almost two free weeks in the schedule before the next commitment

Flamengo beat Red Bull Bragantino 2-1 on Sunday (20) in the 28th round of the Brasileirão. On Monday (21), the Rubro-Negro squad was given the day off. However, on Tuesday (22), the group returned to training at Ninho do Urubu. So, this Wednesday (23), Leonardo Jardim steps up preparations for the rest of the season, with a training session scheduled for 10 a.m. Brasília time.

What was Flamengo’s routine like after the match against Bragantino?

The win over Bragantino wrapped up Flamengo’s involvement in the 28th round of the Brasileirão. After the day off granted on Monday (21), the squad returned to activities on Tuesday (22) at Ninho do Urubu. In this way, the coaching staff used the start of the week to reorganize the group’s routine before increasing the workload.

How much time will Flamengo have to train during the FIFA international break?

The break caused by the September FIFA international window runs until October 6. That gives Jardim almost two weeks to work with a large part of the squad before the Brasileirão resumes. However, the period is not the same for every player: six athletes have commitments with their respective national teams during the break. Even so, the coach is using the available time to intensify the physical and tactical preparation of the rest of the group.

Which Flamengo players have been called up during the break?

Six players from the Rubro-Negro squad have been called up by their national teams during the FIFA international break. Pedro and Samuel Lino will represent Brazil. Arrascaeta and Varela will play for Uruguay. Gonzalo Plata and Anthony Valencia, meanwhile, will feature for Ecuador during the FIFA window. As a result, Jardim needs to balance planning between the group available at Ninho do Urubu and the gradual return of the called-up players in the coming days.

At what point in the season is Flamengo stepping up preparation?

The break comes at a favorable time for Flamengo this season. That is because the club leads the Brasileirão and is also still alive in the fight for the Copa Libertadores. However, the run of matches after the FIFA international break promises to be intense, with decisive games in both competitions. Therefore, the training period becomes even more important for the coaching staff.

When is Flamengo’s next match?

The team’s return to action is scheduled for October 8 at 7:30 p.m. Brasília time. On that occasion, Flamengo will face Santos at Vila Belmiro in the 29th round of the Brasileirão. In any case, the lengthy preparation during the break should help the team arrive in better physical condition for the final stretch of the competition.
