Flamengo began its preparations for the Rio Cup final on Sunday (April 16.04) against Botafogo this Friday (April 18.04). After a long conversation with the group, coach Andrade began training at Ninho do Urubu with set-piece activities. Only then did the training session begin, without Álvaro and Willians, who were handed over to the Medical Department, but with Michael, recovered from thigh pain, on the field.
The starting players trained with Bruno, Leonardo Moura, David, Ronaldo Angelim, and Rodrigo Alvim; Maldonado, Toró, Michael, and Vinícius Pacheco; Vagner Love and Adriano. The reserves were Marcelo Lomba, Everton Silva, Wellinton, Fabrício, and Juan; Lenon, Fernando, Kleberson, and Petkovic; Bruno Mezenga and Dênis Marques.
"There is the possibility of playing two midfielders, yes. But I still have a doubt about that," explained the coach.
After the training ended, Emperor Hadrian, who gave a press conference, explained why the beginning of the work was closed to the press.
"This can help. Sometimes we rehearse or do a set piece, and then the opposing coach ends up watching it on television. I know it's annoying for the press, but it's important for us," he said.
