One of the starters present at the opening of FlaConcept, a store opened by Olympikus for Flamengo in Gávea, goalkeeper Bruno said he believes in the team's chances of winning its sixth championship. "I do believe in it. Goiás played its best game in the Brazilian Championship and can repeat that performance in front of its fans. But we have to do our part, forget the São Paulo game, and do what we've been doing. If we have even a 1% chance, we have to fight for it," the goalkeeper told Flamengo's official website.

According to Bruno, the anxiety generated by the result at Engenhão, where Botafogo defeated São Paulo, was one of the factors that, in his view, may have hindered the team's concentration. But Bruno emphasizes the quality of yesterday's opponent. "We didn't face just any team. I knew the game would be difficult. Goiás has quality players like Fernandão, Iarley, and [goalkeeper] Harley himself..."

Regarding the alleged waxing of Goiás' number one, Bruno states that it's a natural trait for more experienced goalkeepers. "The only position that can cool down the game is the goalkeeper. But sometimes he really does feel an injury."

A standout in Sunday's match, Bruno asks for the fans' support. "Our fans are starving for important titles, the significance of a Brazilian Championship and a Libertadores. So, they left sad and frustrated. But they know they are our greatest strength, our 12th player."
