The week of preparation for the derby against Vasco da Gama on Sunday at Engenhão Stadium is coming to an end. This Friday, coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo led another tactical session at Ninho do Urubu, the club's training center in Vargem Grande.

Once again, there were no changes to the lineup during the training session. The coach repeated the lineup from Thursday's training session, with Marcelo Lomba, Leonardo Moura, David, Welinton, and Juan; Willians, Maldonado, Kleberson, and Renato; Diego Maurício and Deivid. The reserves trained with Vinícius, Galhardo, Jean, Ronaldo Angelim, and Rodrigo Alvim; Toró, Fernando, Fierro, and Marquinhos; Diogo and Cristian Borja.

Set pieces were once again a focus of the activity. Afterward, the players returned to working on finishing. Galhardo, Leo Moura, Renato, and Petkovic, as usual, also practiced free kicks. This Saturday, the team returns to training at the training center, in the afternoon, at 16:30 p.m. It will be the team's final training session before the derby.
