The global football calendar is on hold due to the World Cup, and Flamengo is using the period to hold a mid-season training camp in Portugal. In Europe, the Rubro-Negro will play three friendlies, the first of which is this Friday (03), against River Plate (ARG).
The match between Flamengo and River Plate kicks off at 3:30 PM (Brasília time) at Estádio Algarve. So, for fans who want to watch, the friendly will be broadcast on free-to-air TV by Band. In addition, GE TV (YouTube), SporTV (subscription channel), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will also show the match.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about Flamengo’s mid-season training camp through the website, YouTube, and social media. In addition, reporters Simon Lédo and Rock Hudson will be in Lisbon, Portugal, delivering the best Rubro-Negro coverage on the internet.
Besides River Plate, Flamengo has two more friendlies scheduled for the mid-season training camp. Next Wednesday (08), the Rubro-Negro will face Lausanne-Sport (SUI) at 4:30 PM (Brasília time). Finally, Mengão wraps up its stay in Portugal on July 11, with a match against Benfica (POR) at 3:30 PM (Brasília time).
Flamengo has nine confirmed absences for the mid-season training camp. That is because Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro, Lucas Paquetá, Danilo, Plata, and Carrascal remain with their national teams for the World Cup.
On the other hand, Arrascaeta, Varela, and De La Cruz are in a different situation. That is because Uruguay was eliminated from the World Cup and, as a result, the three players were given ten days off, according to reporter Mônica Alves of Coluna do Fla.
It is worth noting that Flamengo’s first official match after the World Cup is scheduled for July 22. On that occasion, Leonardo Jardim’s team will face Chapecoense at Arena Condá in a match valid for the 19th round of the Brasileirão.
