Defender on Jorginho telling him off after Flamengo game in Portugal

What did Daniel Silva say after Flamengo vs Lausanne Sports (SUI)?

Daniel Silva is one of the academy products currently joining Flamengo’s squad during the mid-season training camp in Portugal. After the Rubro-Negro side’s 2-0 win over Lausanne (SUI), the 17-year-old center back explained what it’s like living and working with the more experienced players in the squad. He also revealed why he got a little ‘telling-off’ from Jorginho after Wednesday’s match (08).

– In training and on the field, the more experienced guys help us a lot. They pass on their experience about what is right and what is wrong. It’s always good to listen to the more experienced players and learn from them –, he said, before concluding: – Jorginho talks to me more about doing some extra work after training ends. Off the field, today for example, I came out of the game, went to shower, and took my phone with me. Then he told me: go take a shower, forget about your phone (laughs). So I take that experience from him, from Vitão, and from the guys in defense –, Daniel Silva concluded.

Daniel Silva and the entire Flamengo squad have been in the Algarve since June 27. During this period, the players undergo medical, tactical, and physical assessments in training. In this way, coach Leonardo Jardim is getting to know the players in the squad better.

HAD DANIEL SILVA ALREADY PLAYED FOR FLAMENGO’S FIRST TEAM?

It is important to note that before playing against Lausanne, Daniel Silva had already been used in Flamengo’s first team. Still under Filipe Luís’ command, the center back made his senior debut in the match against Madureira, in the second leg of the Carioca semifinal.

ABOUT LEONARDO JARDIM

“Leonardo Jardim has been helping us a lot. In training itself, he separates us academy players from the professionals so we don’t get lost during games. There are many tactical differences between academy football and the professional level. Because of that, he has been showing us the way.”

THE PRESSURE OF PLAYING FOR FLAMENGO

“Press conferences are very difficult, you have to think fast. Watching on TV, it looks easy (laughs). The pressure at Flamengo is huge, the fans are on you, the press too… We have to take advantage of it to get used to living all of this, because Flamengo is very big.”

ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA

“Comments on social media can shake you a little, but we are players. We have to get used to that. Sometimes we have to listen in order to improve, but that’s basically it.”

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH IN THE MID-SEASON TRAINING CAMP IN PORTUGAL?

With Daniel Silva available, Flamengo will face Benfica (POR) this Saturday (11) at 3:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Estádio Algarve. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on its website and social media.
