The Flamengo squad returned to the pitch at the Portobello Resort in Mangaratiba for another round of training on Monday afternoon (January 11.01th). The team continues preparing for the 2016 season.

The goalkeepers in the squad began their activities working with coaches Victor Hugo and Jober. As has been the case this preseason, the goalkeepers trained without using their hands, focusing on throws, passes, ball control, and footwork. Marcelo Cirino, César Martin, Guerrero, and Nixon remained in the hotel's gym.

The remaining athletes performed regenerative core work – exercises to strengthen the abdomen, glutes, lower back, and hip flexor muscles. The coaching staff's plan was designed so that every seven intensive training sessions would be followed by a regenerative session. As Wednesday's activity was the eighth of the preseason, the athletes performed functional exercises and ran laps on the field.
