Next came tactical training. During the session, coach Zé Ricardo guided the players on offensive movement and defensive reorganization. Set pieces were also practiced, including free kicks and penalties, as well as finishing exercises.

After training this Saturday (03), the red-black delegation will travel to Volta Redonda, where the classic against Botafogo will take place. The match will take place at the Raulino de Oliveira stadium, with the ball rolling from 11 am.
