On Thursday night (8), Flamengo won its second challenge in a row in São Paulo, this time against Pinheiros by 78 to 67. After the match, Marquinhos, one of the highlights of the match, spoke about the match at the Henrique Villaboim Gymnasium.

"Winning an away game is very important. Both teams started a little off, but they improved. We played a very good game defensively and offensively, especially in the second half, when we implemented our style. Marcelinho and JP were also very important. All the players who came on knew how to help Flamengo come out with the win. I helped the team win, and that's what matters. I did what I've been doing in other matches, going forward and looking for space for my teammates," he said.

In the fight for the top spot in the table, Mais Querido will travel to Mogi das Cruzes to face the home team on Saturday (10), at 14 pm, at the Hugo Ramos gymnasium. "We have to dream big, it's always like that at Flamengo. If there's a chance of taking first place, why not? We'll face Mogi with the same goal as always, which is to play a good match and come out victorious. We know it's difficult to play there, but we're prepared for it," he added.
