The Flamengo team resumed training on Monday morning (16) at the George Helal Training Center. The day began with muscle activation and injury prevention exercises at the Flamengo Performance Excellence Center (CEP FLA). The athletes then went to Field 3, where they warmed up and ran on defined routes on the pitch, alternating speeds.

Back on Field 4, Flamengo coach Zé Ricardo led the group during ball practice. The focus was on maintaining possession, exchanging passes from midfield. The plays continued to the baseline, resulting in crosses for the forwards in the penalty area to finish.

Rômulo worked separately from the rest of the group. Coordinated by physiologist Felipe Olive, the newest addition to the 2017 season underwent a stamina assessment using the yo-yo test, which consists of back-and-forth runs with gradual increases in speed on a pre-defined section of the pitch. Following this, the midfielder completed a recovery run on Field 3 and concluded the activities with specific physical training at the CEP FLA.
