After the 6-0 victory over Craque Sports this afternoon in Gávea, coach Cuca assessed the red-and-black team's performance in the training match. According to the coach, the team has improved in several areas.

"The week was very productive. We finished this week's training with a good training match, which was divided into two parts. Given this new system we're implementing, it was very good. The movement was good, and the attacking has improved, but it's still not ideal. We have to get four or five players into the opponent's box. The first half was more intense because their team was running a lot. Even so, we played well and scored two goals. In the second half, they tired, and we managed to score four more goals. It was good because I was able to make some observations. Next week we'll work more on the team's tactics."

The coach liked the formation of Flamengo's new midfield, with Toró, Airton (Kleberson), Ibson and Léo Moura.

"Léo Moura brought more creativity to the midfield. I think he'll adapt quickly to this role. He's got great passing and creativity, and he also does well on the flanks. We had good containment with Toró and Airton, and then Kleberson. We're strong on the right with the moves from Léo Moura and Everton Silva."

The coach also praised young Erick Flores, who was tested in the starting lineup in Ibson's place.

"Erick Flores is a very fast player and has given the team more movement. The team has become faster with his introduction, as he's a focused player. He just needs to be more ambitious about scoring goals. When he's in front of goal, he has to shoot."
