After their fifth consecutive NBB victory, coach José Neto praised Flamengo's collective style of play. This Sunday's 92-75 victory over Basquete Cearenese put Flamengo firmly in the lead, with an 83,3% success rate and 12 wins in 10 games. Individual standouts included Olivinha and Cubillán, but Neto also spoke about the team as a whole and the team's performance.
"More important than the victory was the way the team played. A positive distribution of points and, more than that, the way they defended themselves against such an offensive and aggressive team as Solar Cearense. Especially with their approach today, to play open, which meant we had to defend very well," said the coach right after the game.
The gymnasium had a very good crowd for the game. And the coach made a point of praising and highlighting this fact after the match, highlighting the work done by the rival team, which ended up spreading throughout the Northeast and strengthening national sports.
"Without a doubt, it's special to play here. Brazil needs this. It's a great example. When we leave centers like São Paulo, Rio, and Minas, now there are more teams in the Northeast. And the work done here in Ceará is responsible for this, which has encouraged and served other projects. It's good for basketball. It's great to come here and find a large audience," added José Neto.
The basketball teams of Clube de Regatas do Flamengo receive funding from their sponsors – thinkseg, Estácio, AmBev, Rede D'or, IRB Brasil RE, CSN, Brasil Plural, and EY – via the Federal Incentive Law/Ministry of Sports (IR) and the State Incentive Law/Rio de Janeiro State Secretariat of Sports, Recreation, and Youth (Seelje), in addition to support from the Brazilian Club Committee (CBC) resulting from the decentralization of resources from the Pelé Law. The Anjo da Guarda Rubro-Negro Project, a personal tax transfer, benefits all Olympic sports of the Most Beloved.
