Leonardo Jardim held a press conference this Thursday (05) at Ninho do Urubu

Flamengo presented coach Leonardo Jardim this Thursday (05) at Ninho do Urubu, after a morning training session. The Portuguese coach commented on his first impressions upon arriving at the club and about the squad.

— I made it a priority to come here to work as soon as we resolved the situation. We know we have very important matches now at the weekend. My first impression of the players was very good: they are very open to work and have a great attitude — he began.

— The conditions are good, with a great training center at Ninho. Because of that, we have everything in place to continue what we did in the past and be a dominant team, aiming to win in all competitions — Leonardo Jardim concluded.

WHAT IS THE CONTEXT OF THE SITUATION?

Flamengo has the top squad in South American football, bringing together players from different continents. Thus, the red-and-black team won the biggest titles they competed for last season, also due to the work of coach Filipe Luís.

Leonardo Jardim was announced by Flamengo last Wednesday (04), after the red-and-black team dismissed Filipe Luís in the early hours of Tuesday (03). As such, the Portuguese coach has already been conducting training sessions with an eye on the next final of the season.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Now, Flamengo is focused on the final of the Campeonato Carioca against Fluminense, on Sunday (08), at 6pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, in a single match. In this way, Coluna do Fla brings all the information about the final straight from the stadium.
