This Friday (22), the red-black commander Zé Ricardo led finishing work and tactical training at the George Helal Training Center, in Vargem Grande. After these activities, collective training was carried out. Finishing the activity, part of the group practiced free kicks, in two or more touches and direct to the goal.

The athletes began their workday with a quick physical activity at Flamengo's Performance Excellence Center (CEP FLA), and then headed to Field 2 to begin ball training. Scientific coordinator Daniel Guimarães initially instructed the athletes in technical work, which consisted of firm passing between players, aiming to improve accuracy and ball control.
