Flamengo's squad remains confident of progressing in the Brazilian Championship. With 21 points and in the tenth round of the competition, the Rubro-Negro drew with Atlético Mineiro this Thursday (August 26.08th) at the Maracanã, but the players believe that the team can gain momentum as it improves its cohesion.
"We need to stay calm, work hard, and build towards victory. We need to be attentive and put in a little more effort. I'm sure the ball will go in. Even with the fans demanding more, we'll improve because we have the squad to do it," assures defender Ronaldo Angelim.
According to the number four, Atlético came to Rio de Janeiro with a clear intention to defend and rely on counter-attacks, while Flamengo sought victory throughout the match and even deserved a better outcome.
"Luxembourg was smart and came here with the team playing defensively. Rogério pushed the team forward, but unfortunately, it didn't work. If Flamengo had come in with Vanderlei's formation, poor Rogério. He would have been massacred. They came in with three defenders, midfielders, and one striker," analyzed the defender, who only lamented the team's lack of accuracy.
"We had chances, we pushed the team forward, unfortunately we didn't score. Val Baiano had a chance, Leandro Amaral had another, but patience, we have to keep working," he concluded.
