Flamengo wrapped up the first part of its mid-season training period with a practice match against Bonsucesso. On the morning of this Friday (26), the Rubro-Negro beat the team from Rio de Janeiro’s North Zone 1-0, with a goal from Bruno Henrique, at CT Ninho do Urubu.
According to sources close to Ninho do Urubu, Bruno Henrique’s goal came from the penalty spot. The move started with Johnny, who found the No. 27 inside the box. Then, the forward laid it off to Joshua, who was fouled for the penalty. Finally, ‘BH’ scored the winner for Mengão.
In short, the friendly against Bonsucesso marked the end of Flamengo’s first training schedule during the World Cup period. After the win over Bonsucesso, the Rubro-Negro squad will have Saturday (27) off and will travel to Portugal on Sunday (28). The information comes from Coluna do Fla’s reporting.
HOW DID THIS START OF FLAMENGO’S MID-SEASON TRAINING GO?
Flamengo’s players reported back on June 19 at CT Ninho do Urubu to begin the mid-season training period. At first, the Rubro-Negro squad underwent medical exams along with on-field activities.
Throughout this period, coach Leonardo Jardim used the sessions to get to know the Flamengo squad even better. In addition, under-20 players were able to earn opportunities with the senior team, considering that Mengo had nine players called up for the World Cup.
It is important to point out that right at the start of his work, Leonardo Jardim made it clear that he likes to use academy players. Because of this, Johnny, Joshua, Daniel Thuram, among others, are getting the opportunity to join the ‘senior team.’ The youngsters will also travel to Portugal.
WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S SCHEDULE FOR PORTUGAL?
After training and the win over Bonsucesso this Friday (26), Flamengo’s squad will have Saturday (27) off. Then, on Sunday (28), the players will fly to Portugal, which will serve as the Rubro-Negro’s base in this second part.
Given this situation, coach Leonardo Jardim will have more days to ‘rotate’ the squad during training. In addition to the sessions, the Portuguese manager will lead the team in three friendlies. They are: River Plate (ARG), Lausanne Sports (SUI), and Benfica (POR).
