The coach Leonardo Jardim adopted a methodology of conducting an activity hours before the games with the Flamengo team. After Mengão's victory over Cruzeiro, 2-0, right-back Emerson Royal commented that he has already gone through this process in Europe and, moreover, believes that this exercise is beneficial for the squad.
— I think it's important, I was in Europe for a long time and worked like this. When the game was in the afternoon, we would go to the field in the morning for an activation. I have no problem with that, I believe no one had a problem either. I think it's good for us not to spend the whole day in bed, as you might get to the game even a bit more tired -, said Emerson Royal in an interview in the mixed zone this Wednesday (11).
Besides the training sessions, Leonardo Jardim has also implemented other changes in the daily routine of Flamengo. This is because, with the Portuguese in charge, the Rubro-Negro returned to using the concentration regime before games in Rio de Janeiro.
And coincidence or not, the strategy ended up working. So far, Flamengo has played in two matches at Maracanã, where they became the Rio champion over Fluminense, and defeated Cruzeiro in a Brasileirão match. Now, even with the next match being in Rio, Mengão will be the visitor.
The next game for Flamengo will be against Botafogo this Saturday (14), for the sixth round of the Brasileirão. The ball will roll for the classic at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at the Nilton Santos Stadium. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will show the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media. Finally, Amazon Prime (streaming) will broadcast the duel.
