Zé Ricardo led a training session on a reduced-size field. The activity focused on building offensive plays and maintaining possession, with quick exchanges of vertical passes. The coach also guided the players on switching play, always looking for the best option when it's time to break the deadlock and moving to create options when the ball comes out of the defensive half.

Flamengo is preparing to face the Coritiba team next Sunday (31). The game will be played at Couto Pereira Stadium, in Curitiba, with the ball rolling from 16 pm.
