Leonardo Jardim will have around ten days to refine his own methodology at Flamengo during the FIFA international break. With that, the coach will ‘mix’ rest days with training sessions as he continues to implement his ideas with the players.
It is worth noting that, since arriving at Flamengo, Leonardo Jardim has given the squad only one day off before the FIFA international break. In addition, the group has been reporting to the training center in the morning even after matches played the previous night.
Besides that, the Flamengo squad has been doing activation sessions on every matchday for games played in Rio de Janeiro. In the meantime, the conditions for these activities are: home matches at night. As a result, Leonardo Jardim leads the training sessions for the players who are already gathered at the training center early in the morning.
In short, Leonardo Jardim has had an average of three days of preparation between Flamengo matches. So far, the Portuguese coach has led the Rubro-Negro side in five matches, recording three wins and two draws, in addition to winning the Campeonato Carioca title in his very first game wearing the Sacred Jersey.
Now, the ten days of the FIFA international break will help Leonardo Jardim refine and even implement new concepts in the day-to-day routine of the Flamengo squad. One of the measures adopted by the coach since his arrival, in fact, has been having the players go into camp always on the day before matches.
*All activities are listed in Brasília time
Flamengo’s next match is scheduled for April 2, against Red Bull Bragantino. The teams will face off starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Estádio Municipal Cicero De Souza Marques, in São Paulo.
