Flamengo's squad returned to training on Monday afternoon at the Ninho do Urubu Training Center in Vargem Grande. The Flamengo coaching staff began preparing the team for Wednesday's Copa Sudamericana debut against Fluminense at the Maracanã stadium.

The players who started yesterday's match against Corinthians only did physical exercises in the training center's new weight room. The rest of the squad participated in a ball-handling and movement activity with Coach Andrade. The Red-and-Black coach also worked on finishing with the players.

Striker Emerson had a meeting with Flamengo's vice president of football, Marcos Braz, and was released from training.

After the activity, midfielder Willians said he was very excited to be competing in his first international competition.

"Every player dreams of competing in a competition like the South American. Of course, our priority is the Brazilian Championship, but we won't neglect the South American. We're going in to win, and I'm very excited and confident. It'll be my first international championship."
