Officially presented by Flamengo on Tuesday afternoon (03.08), striker Leandro Amaral, who will turn 33 years old, has not played an official football match for over a year due to a serious knee injury. However, those who watched the Rubro-Negro's training match this Tuesday, against Bonsucesso, could see that the new number 33 from Gávea is not so far from his best form.

\

The center forward moved well, passed, shot, and was on the field for more than half the training session. Furthermore, in the morning, on his first day at the club, he completed physical conditioning sessions at the gym. And the athlete's excellent performance surprised the Flamengo coaching staff. Toninho Oliveira, Flamengo's physical trainer, praised the player.

\

"For someone who had been out for over a year, he's doing very well. Very well indeed. Today was just the first day, of course he needs to work even harder, in addition to getting into match rhythm, but physically he's doing very well," he said.

\

The initial forecast is that Leandro will be able to make his debut in three weeks at most. But for Toninho, a pleasant surprise may be in store.

\

"He could surprise us. I believe he could be available to Rogério very soon," he added.
