The Londrina fans who turned out in force for Flamengo's arrival in the Paraná city in the early hours of last Tuesday (January 04.01th) will have another opportunity to see their idols up close. Next Friday (January 08.01th), the Gávea team will hold a training session open to the public at the Estádio do Café, at 16:30 pm. At the same location, on Sunday (January 10.01th), the red-and-blacks will play their first friendly match of this pre-season, against Londrina, at 16 pm. The match will be broadcast live on the pay-TV channel Esporte Interativo and also online, with a link available on Flamengo's official website.
Friday, in fact, will be a day of important commitments for coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo's team. The group trains normally in the morning, at 10 am, at the SM Sports training center. Afterwards, they have lunch, rest, and at 15 pm, they have a meeting scheduled with Mayor Barbosa Neto, who personally welcomed the squad at the team's first training session in the city last Tuesday. The players will go to the City Hall and, from there, head to the stadium.
The support from the fans is nothing new for the Flamengo players. Upon arrival, almost 200 people came to welcome the team. The feat was impressive not only for the number of fans, but also for the time – it was already early Tuesday morning, around 1:30 am. Especially for the newly arrived goalkeeper Felipe.
"That's what Flamengo is all about. It's 1:30 in the morning, and fans from outside Rio show up at the airport to welcome us. That's important. The idea is to work hard during these two weeks to arrive at the State Championship in good shape," he said.
Flamengo will remain in Londrina until January 17th, when they return to Rio de Janeiro to debut in the Campeonato Carioca on the 19th against Volta Redonda at Engenhão.
