During a morning training session at Ninho do Urubu, defender Léo Duarte spoke to the press about the team's preparation for Flamengo's month of important matches in the Libertadores, Copa do Brasil, and Campeonato Brasileiro. The player says the team needs to take advantage of all of coach Jorge Jesus's teachings during this offseason to achieve all of the season's objectives.

"Games are important for us to put into practice, and we need to be aware that they are decisions. We don't have to do anything different from what the teacher tells us. We have a new way of playing, and we need to put it into practice," he says.

The defender considers the training period with Jorge Jesus to be very positive. Despite the intense heat, Léo emphasizes that the work has been very well received by the players.

"We've always worked very hard. Of course, it requires more attention when we're dealing with new ideas, but we always work hard. The sun is very exhausting. This moon isn't easy. But the work has been very good, and we all hope to put it into practice in the game," he emphasizes.

On July 10, Flamengo will face Athletico-PR, at Arena da Baixada, in the first leg of the round of XNUMX of the Copa do Brasil.
