The ticket sales figures for the game between Flamengo and Guarani, on Saturday (November 20.11th), at Engenhão, have encouraged the Flamengo players. Defender Ronaldo Angelim, in a press conference after training this Wednesday (November 17.11th), at Ninho do Urubu, in Vargem Grande, once again called on the fans to show up in large numbers at the stadium to support the team.
For Angelim, when the team and the fans are in harmony, it's much easier to achieve victories. According to him, the fans' support is fundamental in this final stretch of the competition. The defender also says that the energy from the stands will be reciprocated with a lot of motivation on the field.
"I'm calling on the fans, because we really need the result and they are extremely important. When the fans show up, the players realize they are on their side. This is an important moment for Flamengo. I think that if the fans come and support the team, that energy will translate into goals. I hope they come and help us achieve a great result," he said.
The defender also points out that the fans may need a little patience in this match. After all, given the situations of both teams in the competition, the duel has all the makings of a very balanced game.
"Both teams need the victory. We watched Fluminense's game against Goiás (a 1-1 draw in Rio) and saw that it was the same. The opponents play defensively, relying on counter-attacks, making things difficult. We're used to that. Whoever plays here against Flamengo comes with strong marking, doesn't let our team play, and takes points from here. We also have to mark strongly to be successful in this match," he concluded.
The Flamengo squad returns to training this Thursday at 16:30 PM and begins its preparations for the weekend's match.
