Flamengo's squad returned to training on Monday afternoon in Gávea. After losing 3-1 to Resende and saying goodbye to the Taça Guanabara, the red-and-black team is preparing for its next challenge, which will be against Ivinhema (MS) in the Copa do Brasil. The first leg is scheduled for the 4th in Campo Grande (MS).

Before physical training, vice president of football Kleber Leite gathered the players in the center of the field for a conversation that lasted about 20 minutes. The manager said it was a time for reflection.

"The conversation is an internal matter, but the content is obvious. It's time for everyone to reflect, because we're still at the beginning of the season. It's time to reflect, think, and see where we can improve. It's essential that the group stays united. Winning the Campeonato Carioca is still possible. And we still have the Copa do Brasil, which starts at the beginning of the month. We have to be focused and concentrated. What happened on Saturday cannot happen again," said Kleber Leite.
