The overhaul Flamengo's board is undertaking in its football department, which has extended to the youth divisions. Among other changes across all categories, the youth team has a new fitness coach: Daniel Félix. Having previously worked for the club, he returns to Flamengo to help prepare the team for the two remaining competitions in 2010: the Octávio Pinto Guimarães Tournament and the Brazilian Championship.
"I definitively took over the team's physical preparation last Monday (21.06/XNUMX). I took the previous information and found a very heterogeneous group. We need to balance all the players. We have games on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and time is short. But we will find a way. We have to meet the needs and we are planning individual work to arrive at these competitions well prepared," said Daniel.
Regarding the statements made by Zico, who took over the football department and stated that the youth divisions must reveal players, Daniel Felix corroborated the director.
"The primary function of the youth teams must be to develop players for the senior team to use. And this monitoring must be done from the beginning. When they reach the juniors, these players will receive the closest possible treatment to that of a professional, with similar rights and responsibilities. Especially because they are constantly promoted and demoted and need to be prepared. This is the final step," explained Daniel.
