To make their debuts as soon as possible, which is what they themselves hope for, Ronaldinho and Thiago Neves have to keep working hard. And that's exactly what they're doing. After running in heavy rain and doing a gym session on their first day of training yesterday afternoon, they sweated even more during their first full-time training session.
Under the same intense sun that the players have been facing for almost two weeks, the new Flamengo players completed a circuit of physical activities in the morning and another in the afternoon. In the second session, they were able to work with the ball, which turned a physical training session into a technical activity as well.
With cones scattered across the field, the players practiced dribbling and sprints, under the supervision of physical trainers Diogo Linhares and João Marcos. According to the coaching staff's estimate, Thiago should be fit to play in a week, while Ronaldinho should take 12 days to be ready to debut. Both hope to play as soon as possible.
"Both Ronaldo and I want to play as soon as possible. We're preparing for it. I believe I'm a step ahead of him because I trained for a week before coming here. He was out for a few days because of the negotiations, but he's a guy with great physique and a lot of talent, so I'm sure we'll have a good debut," he stated.
