Hard work and good humor on the eve of the clash with Inter
Friday saw technical and tactical work, as well as the first recreational session of the "Luxembourg Era"
By From the official website team - inIt's often said that a smile only brings more joy. And on the eve of another important match in the Brazilian Championship, Flamengo's training session was marked by good humor. And, of course, by the hard work led by coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo. The coach conducted a tactical training session, behind closed doors to the press, then began the first recreational session of his time in charge of the Rubro-Negro, concluding the morning with a finishing session.
\And if last Wednesday the presence of young Hugo, from the youth team, with a "black power" hairstyle, was one of the curious highlights of training, this Friday, it was Rafinha, the "Neymar of Gávea" who caught everyone's attention. The young and skilled midfielder from the under-17 team, who will not be able to face Botafogo on Saturday in the final of the Campeonato Carioca due to suspension, won over his teammates and was the target of many jokes because of his resemblance to the Santos player.
\Midfielder Willian Amendoim, who played in the U-23 World Cup with Flamengo, also participated in the activity. Nine-year-old Rivaldo, Val Baiano's nephew, was another highlight of the training session. He joked with the players on the field, especially with defender David, with whom he kicked the ball around.
\This Saturday, Flamengo faces Internacional at 18:30 p.m. at the Engenhão stadium. The probable starting lineup is: Marcelo Lomba, Galhardo, Welinton, Ronaldo Angelim, and Juan; Correa, Maldonado, Kleberson, and Renato; and Diego Maurício and Deivid. The team will be off on Sunday and Monday, returning next Tuesday at 10 a.m. at the Ninho do Urubu stadium.
