At Flamengo, a coach's attitude goes beyond simply commanding the team from the sidelines. Recent reports on how Filipe Luís, who took on the role of interim coach in a period of transition, point to an active and participatory style. During training, Filipe not only guides his players, but also takes to the field to demonstrate in practice the concepts he wants to implement. With a practical and direct approach, he gets involved in plays, disputes the ball with the athletes and, at times, even risks throwing carts, which makes the training environment intense and competitive.
The attitude of Filipe Luís on the field reflects his experience and leadership. He makes a point of tactically exemplifying the concepts he wants to see applied in games, which increases athletes' understanding of what is expected of them in specific situations. This interaction, which goes beyond the traditional role of coach, helps to create a stronger bond with the squad, allowing players to better absorb guidance and understand the reasons behind each tactical movement. In a team like Flamengo, where details can make a difference, this active participation is seen as a positive point by the athletes.
FLAMENGO HAS GROWN IN GAME VOLUME
During the four days of training, the team had a mix of activities focused on both the tactical and physical aspects. Filipe Luís led intense sessions of positional adjustment, marking and offensive and defensive movement, always with an emphasis on the balance between the technical quality and the physical condition of the players. The importance of being in good physical shape was highlighted, as this can define the pace of the game and the ability to dominate the opponent in decisive moments. Each exercise was designed to improve collective and individual performance.
However, not everything was serious during these days of training. To relieve pressure and create a lighter environment, playful activities were incorporated into the programming, such as the so-called speed game. This type of dynamic not only entertains players, but also serves as a way to improve reflex and agility, fundamental aspects on the field. On Friday, David Luiz and Gabigol stood out in this game, leading a fierce dispute that excited the squad. The game was so competitive that a rematch was needed to decide the big winner , generating relaxation and laughter among the athletes.
A DIFFERENT FLAMENGO CAST
< p style="border: 1px solid rgb(197, 0, 24);">These playful activities play a crucial role in developing team cohesion. Moments like this help reduce the natural tension of training, especially in times of pressure for results. The more relaxed coexistence outside the fields ends up strengthening team spirit, making the group more united and motivated to face challenges in competitions. At Flamengo, this type of approach has been fundamental to creating an environment positive, where players feel more comfortable showing their potential.
