After a training period at Stockton University in Atlantic City, Flamengo is now concentrated at ESPN Wide World of Sports , a Disney sports complex in Florida. The red-and-black squad held its first training session at the new location on Wednesday (25). Bayern Munich, opponent in the round of 16 of the Club World Cup, began its activities this Thursday (26) at the same training center, according to the "ge" portal.


FLAMENGO AND BAYERN SHARE SPORTS COMPLEX


ESPN Wide World of Sports offers complete infrastructure and privacy for both teams . The complex covers 890,000 m² and has 17 soccer fields, a number that surpasses the infrastructure available at Ninho do Urubu in Rio de Janeiro. Despite being in the same location, Flamengo and Bayern will train at different times to avoid any direct contact between the teams.


This Thursday (26), Flamengo will hold its activity at 5:30 pm (Brasília time), while Bayern used the space in the morning. The schedule continues with two more training sessions before the trip to Miami. On Friday (27), the red-black team will train again in the late afternoon, at the same time as today.

CONFRONTATION IS DESIGNED BY THE GERMANS


On Saturday (28), the players will work in the morning, finishing their preparations before the flight scheduled for 3 pm, heading to the match venue. In a press conference after the draw with LAFC, Filipe Luís commented on the next opponent. The Flamengo coach praised Bayern Munich, now led by Vincent Kompany, but assured that he will not give up on the team's playing philosophy.

The coach emphasized that the Rio de Janeiro team's attacking style will be maintained, even in the face of the Bavarian team's strength. The intention is to propose the game and try to be as vertical as possible, a characteristic that has been a trademark of Flamengo in recent years. Filipe Luís recognized the quality of the European opponent, current Bundesliga champion. Even so, he reinforced that the preparation continues to focus on the red-black style of play.

Mirassol will make just one change to the starting lineup to face Flamengo this Saturday (09), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship. Leão defends a three-month unbeaten run in the match, while Mengão seeks to remain in the lead.


After serving a suspension in the victory over Vasco, left-back Reinaldo returns to the team, taking Felipe Jonatan's place . Leão's top scorer in the Brasileirão, the number 6 has seven goals in the competition and is the team's official penalty taker.


PROBABLE LINEUP


Mirassol's likely lineup is : Walter; Lucas Ramon, João Victor, Jemmes and Reinaldo; Neto Moura, Danielzinho and Gabriel; Negueba, Edson Carioca and Chico da Costa.

IMPORTANT DEFAULT IN THE BANK


The main absence will be coach Rafael Guanaes , suspended for a third yellow card . Without the manager, assistant Ivan Baitello will be on the sidelines for the club's debut at Maracanã. Guanaes' team hasn't been defeated since May 5th, when they lost to Red Bull Bragantino.

In the medical department, defender Da Silva is out, although he didn't play for the team in 2024—his last appearance was for the B team last season. On the other hand, defender Luiz Otávio, a regular starter in 2024, left the medical department but hasn't yet played this year due to successive injuries.

Leão is in 5th place in the Brasileirão, with 28 points, and is looking to score points to remain in the G6. If they beat Flamengo this Saturday and Bahia stumbles against Fluminense, Mirassol will finish the round in the G4 , those who qualify directly for the group stage of the Libertadores.
