Flamengo held this Tuesday morning (19), at Ninho do Urubu, the last training session before the match against Juventude, which takes place tomorrow (20), at 20:30 pm, at the Mané Garrincha stadium, in Brasília. The match is valid for the 18th round of the Brasileirão and will mark the debut of Everton Cebolinha with the Sacred Mantle.

Coach Dorival Júnior led a tactical training session on the training center's field. Athletes Marinho, with pharyngitis, and Matheus Cunha, with gastroenteritis, were removed from the delegation that departed for Brasília.

The morning also featured a press conference with midfielder Diego Ribas, who discussed his future career. He stated that he will end his tenure at Flamengo at the end of the year and that the Gávea club will be his last in Brazil.

"Today marks six years since I announced my arrival at Flamengo. It's been a wonderful six years. When I renewed my contract last year, we decided it would be my last year at Flamengo, and I'm here to confirm that. My time at Flamengo will come to an end. I won't play for another Brazilian club either. My history at Flamengo is very rich. I'll give myself a few more months to decide whether or not to retire. If I stay, it will be abroad. This is where I want to live this final stretch."

Diego was not included in the game this Wednesday due to pain in the adductor of his right thigh and remained at the CT undergoing treatment.
