Returning to winning ways, Flamengo beat Joinville 91-81 on Tuesday night (6), in an electrifying match from start to finish. After the end of the match, captain Marcelinho Machado spoke exclusively to the official website, still at Centreventos Cau Hansen, about the result.
"We played a good game. It's always good to regain victory after a loss. Sometimes people look at the table and think it'll be an easy game, but the championship has already shown that it won't be that way. We deserved to beat a team that had great performance, especially in the second half. We managed to stay calm and finish the match," he analyzed.
With almost 1.800 people present at the Centreventos Cau Hansen gymnasium, Mais Querido had the support of the Nação Rubro-Negra throughout the match, setting the stage on fire until the clock ran out.
"Flamengo no longer surprises me with fans. We know that wherever we are, there will be fans supporting us. I'm happy to be present at this red-and-black invasion in Joinville," he concluded.
FlaBasquete's next match will be on Thursday (8), when they face Caxias do Sul, at 20:05 pm, at Ginásio do Sesi.
