After a 2-2 draw with Boavista last night at Maracanã, Flamengo returned to action this Thursday afternoon at Gávea. Flamengo is beginning to prepare for Sunday's derby against Boatafogo at Maracanã. The match could decide the top spot in Group B of the Guanabara Cup.

The players who started yesterday's match only did physical exercises at the club's gym. Left-back Juan, who is recovering from a knock to his right leg, underwent physical therapy.

On the field, coach Cuca organized a technical activity for the rest of the squad. He divided the players into two teams, which faced each other on a reduced field. The red-and-black coach paid close attention to their ball handling, movement, and finishing.
