The nation is on a different level. And striker Bruno Henrique, who contributed to all three of the red-and-blacks' goals in the 3-1 victory over Al-Hilal in the Club World Cup semifinal, knows this all too well. After qualifying, he praised the Mengão fans. 

"The fans are our 12th player. They made the effort to come to Qatar, and we're happy to have them with us. More people will arrive this week, and we'll do everything we can to bring them joy," said BH.

The player also spoke about the World Cup final. Flamengo will face the winner of Liverpool and Monterrey.

"It's going to be a great game. We're already in the final, now we just have to wait for our next opponent, with humility, respecting them as we have throughout the year. Whatever comes our way, we'll face it with great responsibility and dedication."

Liverpool and Monterrey face off this Wednesday. The World Cup final will be played on Saturday at 14:30 p.m. (Brasília time).
