With Flamengo's elimination from the Rio Cup, it will take nearly ten days of training to prepare for the match against Coronel Bolognesi on the 23rd and the finals of the Campeonato Carioca. Midfielder Cristian noted that the training sessions will be used to correct mistakes made in the Rio Cup final.

- "These days we'll have off will be important for working on our technical, physical, and mental health. Joel will take advantage of this time to correct the mistakes we made in the Rio Cup final."

For Cristian, the Flamengo squad should take advantage of the Rio Cup final to study their opponents.

- "It's really bad to be left out of such an important decision. Since we're not going to play, we have to watch, to study the strengths and weaknesses of both teams."
