O Flamengo concluded this Saturday morning (12) the fourth and final training session of the week at the Ninho Training Center do Urubu, in preparation for the challenges to come, including the classic against Fluminense, scheduled for next Thursday (17).The red-black team, which is at a crucial moment of the season, seeks adjusting the last details under the supervision of the technical committee, led by experienced left-back Filipe Luís, who has played a fundamental role in providing guidance during training. With total focus on the next commitments, Flamengo remains attentive to its physical form and tactics of its players, aiming for a solid performance in the important midweek clash.


The team's planning for this week featured with four intensive training sessions, always at CT Ninho do Urubu. The last of these training sessions, held this Saturday, had as main objective to improve the chemistry and precision of the plays, especially in relation to the defense, which has been a point of attention. Filipe Luís, who has taken a more active role in training since his recovery, will lead two more activities before the classic. Furthermore, the technical team has paid special attention to the physical recovery of the athletes, to ensure that everyone is in their best condition for the game against Fluminense.


FILIPE LUIS CAST TRAINS STRONG


Flamengo's squad will have a well-deserved rest on Sunday (13), when the players will have time off to recover after the sequence of intense activities. The break, even if brief, is essential for the athletes' muscle regeneration process and for them to return on Monday (14) with renewed energy. The reappearance on Monday marks the beginning of the last phase of preparation for the classic, with two decisive training sessions before the match. Filipe Luís will be responsible for guiding the athletes through these last adjustments, which could make the difference in the fight for a positive result in the match.

Expectations for the Fla-Flu classic are high, and Flamengo has been working hard to correct the errors presented in the last games. With full-back Filipe Luís taking a leadership stance during training, the team hopes to demonstrate an evolution in the defensive system and also improve the offensive transition, which will be crucial to beating the rival Tricolor. Furthermore, the team is aware of the need to adapt its strategies to Fluminense's style of play, which is also backed by good results. The presence of key players, who are in the final stages of preparation, will be decisive for Flamengo's success.


FLAMENGO HAS BALANCE POINT

Another highlight in the week's activities was the physical recovery work of the athletes who they came from a heavy sequence of games. The medical team and the technical committee have worked together to ensure that all players are ready for the classic. Filipe Luís, in addition to providing technical guidance, also has been an important voice in the locker room, encouraging players to maintain concentration and focus. The leadership of the full-back, who already has extensive experience in decisive games, has been a difference behind the scenes at the club, especially in such an important week for Rubro-Negro.
