This Friday afternoon (1) was a busy one at Tijuca Tênis Clube. Under the supervision of coach José Neto and his technical committee, FlaBasquete returned to training after the 79-69 victory over Caxias do Sul. The preparation, however, will not be long, as the Orgulho da Nação returns to the courts to face Joinville this Saturday, at 18 pm, in Tijuca.
Conducting tactical training after a warm-up led by fitness coach Diego Falcão, Neto analyzed possible plays and adjusted positioning for the difficult home match.
Scoring 15 points and 3 assists, winger Marquinhos spoke exclusively to the official website about his expectations for this Saturday's duel.
"It was a good win. Neto managed to run the team well, and we managed the score from the start. I was happy with the good basketball we played and the important result. Winning at home is crucial to gaining an advantage in the playoffs later on, so I hope we can repeat that performance. Defensively, we're improving, which is a goal for us. I hope everyone has a good afternoon tomorrow," he said.
The Red-Black Nation is essential to push FlaBasquete at home. Secure your ticket now and support the Pride of the Nation at Tijuca Tênis Clube, at 18 pm.
The basketball teams of Clube de Regatas do Flamengo rely on resources from their sponsors – Estácio, AmBev, Rede D'or, IRB Brasil RE, CSN, Brasil Plural, EY – via the Federal Incentive Law/Ministry of Sports (IR) and the State Incentive Law/State Secretariat of Sports, Leisure and Youth (Seelje) of Rio de Janeiro, in addition to support from the Brazilian Committee of Clubs (CBC) resulting from the decentralization of resources originating from the Pelé Law.
