While in Rio de Janeiro the sun came out to welcome Ronaldinho Gaúcho, in Gávea, in Londrina heavy rain returned during a Flamengo training session in the afternoon. The scene from last Tuesday (January 11.01th) repeated itself, but with an added detail: lightning struck near the training fields of the SM Sports training center, where the team has been carrying out its activities. As a precaution, coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo opted to end the training session and send the players to the locker room.

Before the break, the group was doing technical work, with crosses and finishing drills. The full-backs received the ball on the wings and had to cross for the midfielders and forwards to finish towards the goal. Then, the wingers had to feign a cross, but then shoot at goal, trying to surprise the goalkeepers.

Flamengo returns to training on Thursday morning (January 13.01th) at the SM Sports training center. In Rio, Thursday will also be for the presentation of new signings. Thiago Neves will wear the Flamengo jersey and give a press conference at 11 am. Afterwards, he and Ronaldinho are expected to travel to Londrina. The departure time has not yet been confirmed.

The delegation will remain in Paraná until next Monday (January 17.01th). On Wednesday (January 19.01th), the team will debut in the Campeonato Carioca, probably still without Ronaldinho, against Volta Redonda, at Engenhão.
