After tactical training this afternoon in Gávea, goalkeeper Bruno stated that the red-and-black squad is focused on achieving another victory in this Brazilian Championship. With 12 games remaining in the competition, Bruno assured that the players are treating Saturday's match against Sport at Maracanã like a championship final.

"Every game is a championship final for us. All the players are aware of that. We hope to win another match, but we know how difficult it will be to face Sport. The fans can believe us, because we're highly motivated. We have to go in focused and focused, treating the match like a final."

For Bruno, Sport is a team that deserves a lot of attention when playing away from Ilha do Retiro.

"Sport is a very good team. They've been surprising away from home in this Brasileirão. With the Copa do Brasil title, they play without much responsibility. They have fast players who are very good at counterattacks. I believe Sport will attack Flamengo, even playing at Maracanã. This way, we can take advantage of the spaces they'll give us. It will be a very difficult match, like all Brasileirão matches. The match against Ipatinga showed that there are no weak teams in this championship."
