The fighting spirit of the squad was exalted by the midfielder, who also thanked all the support given by the Capixaba Nation, who once again filled the Kléber Andrade and made the stadium a cauldron.

"When we got the draw, for many it was a good result. But we pushed ourselves, we knew we could get the victory," 

said Alan, who added: "In the end it was a little open, but God blessed us and in the end we got the winning goal."

The fans threw another wonderful party at Klebão Stadium, which has become Flamengo's home in the absence of Maracanã, and the number 19 celebrated the Mais Querido's positive history playing at the stadium. "We hope to continue this winning streak here, so that Flamengo can always fight for the title."

The team's focus now turns to the next challenge, the second leg against Palestino of Chile in the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana. "We don't know who will play, but it's time to focus on the Copa Sudamericana match, which will be very difficult. We're prepared for it," concluded the midfielder.

The match against the Chilean team will be played next Wednesday (28), also at the Kléber Andrade Stadium, in Cariacica. The match will start at 21:45 pm.
