As always very committed to training, Maldonado stated that this period of full-time work at Ninho do Urubu will be fundamental for the group.
"I and the entire group arrived in good condition and that is very important. Now, it's time to prepare ourselves and I'm sure we'll be ready when we return to the Brazilian Championship," he concluded.
Since arriving at Gávea in the middle of last year, Maldonado has played 28 games for Flamengo, scoring one goal.
