The Flamengo squad is in the final stages of preparation for the match against Juventude, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. During Friday’s (12) training session, goalkeeper Dyogo Alves greeted club staff in an unusual way at the Ninho do Urubu training center.
Through a video, Flamengo shared moments of the players’ exercises on Friday morning (12). As soon as he stepped onto the pitch, Dyogo Alves turned to the camera and said: “Good morning, you monsters!”. After the banter, the goalkeeper joined Rossi and Matheus Cunha to follow the day’s schedule.
Dyogo Alves is a homegrown player and currently serves as the team’s third goalkeeper. Even without getting the opportunity to play in matches, the 21-year-old remains available to Filipe Luís and works daily with the squad. In addition to the three goalkeepers mentioned, Rubro-Negro is also giving ‘experience’ to Léo Nannetti among the professionals.
With Dyogo Alves available, Flamengo took advantage of the break in the calendar due to the FIFA Date and intensified preparations focusing on the next commitments of the season. The first of these takes place this Sunday (14) against Juventude, in Caxias do Sul.
For the match, coach Filipe Luís has two confirmed absences. Starting with Erick Pulgar, who is still recovering from surgery on the fifth metatarsal of his right foot. Meanwhile, Alex Sandro is treating pain in his left calf. Finally, Jorginho and Varela, with discomfort in the left thigh and pubalgia, respectively, remain doubtful.
The next Flamengo match of the season takes place this Sunday (14) against Juventude, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. In short, the ball rolls at 4pm (Brasília time), at Estádio Alfredo Jaconi, in Caxias do Sul. Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will show the details of the match on YouTube. Finally, Amazon Prime (streaming) will broadcast the game.
