One of Flamengo's standout players in their 1-0 victory over Botafogo, number 1 Bruno, stated this afternoon after training that the red-and-black team expects a very tough match against Barueri, the team from Gávea's next opponent in the Brazilian Championship. Bruno was full of praise for the São Paulo team's performance, but said that Flamengo will go out on the field looking for a win.

"Barueri has been having a great campaign. They were fighting for the top spots and are now in the middle of the table. They've had great performances throughout the competition and deserve our respect. It will be another difficult and decisive match, like all the others. But if we want to reach our goal, we have to win. The Brazilian Championship is narrowing, and we can't afford to drop points."
