Leonardo Jardim will lead a training session later today with an eye on the derby against Fluminense. However, the coach decided to let the players go after training and did not schedule the squad to stay overnight at the Ninho do Urubu training center this Saturday (11).
Since arriving at Flamengo, coach Leonardo Jardim has required the squad to stay at the Ninho do Urubu training center one day before a match in Rio de Janeiro. However, for the derby against Fluminense, the Portuguese coach allowed the players to sleep at home.
It is worth noting that Flamengo landed late on Thursday night (09) in Rio de Janeiro after the match against Cusco (PER) in the Libertadores. In other words, the players will have little time to rest before facing Fluminense.
Yes! That is because Flamengo is three points behind in the Brazilian Championship standings, with 17 points. Therefore, the Rio derby is seen as a direct clash in the race for the national title.
Flamengo's match against Fluminense is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. (Brasília time) this Sunday (12), at the Maracanã, in the 11th round of the Brazilian Championship. Therefore, Premiere, on pay-per-view, will broadcast the match.
