Flamengo had a great collective performance away from home and beat Basquete Cearense 73-54 this Saturday (13). The match, played in Fortaleza, was highlighted by the red-black defensive performance, as Gustavo De Conti said after the match.
"I really enjoyed the game against Basquete Cearense because it was our debut. Offensively, things weren't going so well, and our performance wasn't great, but we managed to play collectively and didn't force the ball. That was a positive factor. The best part was the defense, as we didn't even concede 60 points away from home. That gave us a solid foundation, keeping us ahead and out of danger of losing," analyzed the coach.
The red-black team will play again on Monday (15), when they go to the Nilson Nelson gym to face Brasília at 20 pm.
