After the 2-0 defeat to São Paulo, the Flamengo squad returned this morning, in Gávea, to begin preparation work for Sunday's game against Ipatinga, at Maracanã, in a game valid for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship.

Under heavy rain, coach Ronaldo Torres led a vigorous physical activity session on the Gávea field. The players trained for about an hour and a half.

The squad returns to training in the afternoon. The starters finish their physical training in the gym, while the reserves do technical work on the Gávea field.
