Flamengo squad given Sunday off | OneFootball

Leonardo Jardim leads Flamengo’s next training session on Monday (03)

Flamengo recorded another draw in the Brazilian Championship. This time, it was a 1-1 draw with Internacional last Wednesday (29), in the 21st round of the Brasileirão. Since the team’s next match is only on August 9, Fla were given the day off this Sunday (02).

Initially, Sunday (02) was supposed to be a training day for the Flamengo squad. However, the football department changed plans and gave the players a day off. As a result, the squad will return to training on Monday (03), at a time that has not yet been announced.

What is Fla’s schedule?

It is worth noting that Flamengo’s press office announced that Lucas Paquetá will give an interview this Monday (03) at the Ninho do Urubu Training Center, after the team’s activity. The midfielder’s meeting with journalists will take place from 10:30 a.m. (Brasília time), with full coverage by Coluna do Fla.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

In short, because of the Copa do Brasil round of 16, Flamengo will have around ten days until their next Brazilian Championship fixture. That is because Rubro-Negro were eliminated from the knockout competition and are now focused on the Brasileirão and the Libertadores.

In the meantime, Flamengo will only return to the pitch next Sunday (09), to face Vitória in the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. The match is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. Finally, SporTV, on subscription TV, and Premiere, via pay-per-view, will broadcast the clash.

What is Fla’s situation in the standings?

In short, if the fans had hopes of seeing Flamengo cut the gap to leaders Palmeiras, what happened last Wednesday (29) was the opposite. Instead of reducing the deficit to three points, Fla saw the distance increase to eight.

After Flamengo’s 1-1 draw with Internacional, combined with Palmeiras’ win over Vitória, Leonardo Jardim’s team’s situation became complicated. While the São Paulo side have 47 points, Fla are in second place with 39.
