No day off! Flamengo train on Monday after thrashing Atlético-MG | OneFootball

Flamengo squad returns to Ninho do Urubu this Monday (27)

Flamengo thrashed Atlético-MG 4-0 this Sunday (26) in the 13th round of the Brasileirão. After the positive result in the national competition, the Rubro-Negro squad will not get any time off. This Monday (27), Leonardo Jardim begins preparing the team for the next match of the season, against Estudiantes (ARG).

According to the schedule released by the club, the Rubro-Negro squad will report to Ninho do Urubu at 11:30 a.m. (Brasília time) this Monday (27). At the training center, the players who started against Atlético-MG will do recovery work. The substitutes, meanwhile, will train on the pitch with Leonardo Jardim.

It is worth mentioning that Flamengo's next match takes place on Wednesday (29), against Estudiantes, in Argentina. Therefore, after this Monday’s (27) activities, Leonardo Jardim will have only one more training session to decide the starting players for the Libertadores match.

IMPORTANT ROUT?

The rout over Atlético-MG not only confirmed Flamengo's excellent form, but also secured the team’s seventh straight win of the season. In that sense, the positive result was crucial for the Rubro-Negro side to remain in pursuit of leaders Palmeiras, preventing the São Paulo rival from pulling further away at the top of the standings.

Currently, the Most Beloved has 26 points and sits second in the competition with 12 matches played. On the other hand, the São Paulo team leads the table with 32 points, though having played one more match than Flamengo.

WHAT NOW?

Now, Flamengo will have to make this good run count outside the country, as they visit Estudiantes (ARG) this Wednesday (29) in the third round of the Libertadores group stage. In that regard, a win in La Plata would give the Rubro-Negro three more crucial points in the Group A standings. As a result, Leonardo Jardim’s team will have the chance to solidify first place in the group on Argentine soil.
