Flamengo prepares players for upcoming matches after FIFA Date


The club football calendar is on hold from September 1 to 9 due to the FIFA Date. Flamengo's right back, Flamengo's Emerson Royal valued this break and highlighted the importance of the period for the squad. According to the player, the break was crucial for the group to breathe, allowing the athletes to regain their energy before resuming competitions.

"It's important for us. We knew that the game routine is a bit tight, we played many consecutive games, and now it was important for us to also take a breath, work on the things we got wrong during the competition. I believe this week was very important for us, and now it's time to come back strong to maintain the lead," he said, in an interview for Flamengo TV.

DID THE SQUAD GET A BREAK?

Shortly after the start of the FIFA Date, Flamengo gave the players four days off. Thus, the red-black squad returned to activities last Friday (5), aiming to start preparing for the next games.

It should be noted, however, that the 'breath' did not extend to six Flamengo players: Samuel Lino (Brazil), Varela, Arrascaeta and Viña (Uruguay), Plata (Ecuador) and Carrascal (Colombia). All those mentioned received a call from their respective teams.

ARRASCAETA AND VARELA BACK?

The Uruguayan team released Guillermo Varela and Arrascaeta after helping the country secure a spot in the World Cup. Flamengo's medical department will reassess the right back, who presented a case of pubalgia. The midfielder, without clinical problems, was released because the 'Celeste' already planned to spare him from the second game of the FIFA Date. Both will report to the Ninho do Urubu on Wednesday (10).

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME?

Flamengo returns to the pitch on Sunday (14), when they face Juventude. Thus, the ball rolls at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul, for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship.
