The main cast of Flamengo began, this Tuesday, preparations for the official debut in the Carioca Championship. The team will face Volta Redonda next Saturday (25), marking the start of competitions for Mais Querido in 2025. Under the command of coach Filipe Luís, the players returned to CT Ninho do Urubu for the first training of the year. The activity, scheduled to start at 4pm, is the starting point to align the strategy that will be put into practice at the opening of the state championship.

FILIPE LUÍS COMMANDS TRAININGS IN THE NINHO

This will be the first time that Filipe Luís will be in charge of the team in an official match. After assuming technical command, he will have the mission of leading the CRF in a calendar full of challenges, starting with the state and aiming for bigger goals throughout the year. The planning of this week's activities includes technical, tactical and physical training, with a focus on achieving the best performance in the confrontation against Volta Redonda. In addition, the technical committee intends to observe the individual performance of the athletes after the vacation period.

SEASON GOALS

With their debut approaching, Mengão sets ambitious goals for 2025. The fans hope to see the team stand out in Carioca and in national and international competitions. Initial preparation is seen as essential to achieving these goals. Filipe Luís will also have the opportunity to put into practice the ideas he developed during the pre-season. The expectation is that the coach will explore the potential of each player, adjusting the team to act in a cohesive and efficient manner.

Volta Redonda will be Mais Querido's first challenge this season. The opposing team, a traditional participant in the state championship, is usually a competitive opponent. Therefore, the technical committee works to ensure that Flamengo enters the field well prepared and with a defined strategy. In addition to Carioca, Mengão has an extensive calendar ahead of him, which includes competitions such as the Copa do Brasil and the Brasileirão. The main cast, reinforced by new names, will need to maintain consistency throughout the year to achieve the goals set.

The first state games are seen as an opportunity to give the group a rhythm, test new formations and correct possible flaws before the more demanding competitions. Flamengo's debut in Carioca generates great expectations among fans. Known for its passion and unconditional support, the Red-Negra Nation eagerly awaits the team's return to the pitch.
