Before training this afternoon, Flamengo received a visit from Father Benedito, from the São Judas Tadeu Church.

Father Benedito brought the blessing of Flamengo's Patron Saint to the players and coaching staff in the football department.

"We were here a year ago. At that time, the team was in the relegation zone and ended the year with a spot in the Libertadores. Crises are normal, and that's why it was good that Flamengo sought help from Saint Jude. The Saint will certainly help the team return to the top," the priest assured.
