What did Flamengo say about the fireworks in the early hours of this Thursday (25)?

The Estudiantes (ARG) fans tried to disturb the sleep of the Flamengo squad during the night with a sort of fireworks display. After the incident, the Rubro-Negro clarified how it responded to the situation and made it clear that the choice of hotel had already taken into account this kind of behavior from the Argentine team’s fans.

“As is public knowledge, there was a fireworks display in the area where Flamengo is staying in Argentina. The incident, which occurred outside the perimeter of the condominium where the hotel is located, practically did not interfere with the rest of the players and the coaching staff. This is because the club’s logistics planning had already anticipated the possibility of this type of situation. The choice of a hotel in a secluded location was precisely aimed at protecting the team and ensuring the best possible preparation.”

WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE THE FLAMENGO VS ESTUDIANTES MATCH?

Flamengo was surprised by a fireworks display near the place where they are staying in Argentina. Through social media, José Boto, technical director of football at Mengão, even posted a video at the time of the incident.

It is important to note that before the fireworks, the Flamengo squad held a training session in Argentina, at the Defensa y Justicia (ARG) training center. Thus, the Rubro-Negro finished their preparations for the match on Argentine soil.
