A day of work and also a press conference at Ninho do Urubu. Striker Bruno Henrique spoke with reporters before training this morning and predicted a difficult match against Cruzeiro, next Saturday (21), at Mineirão. The player believes that, despite the opponent's poor form, they must be very careful to seek victory away from home in the Brazilian Championship. Furthermore, the top scorer believes the team is prepared to face the marathon of matches in the coming months. 

"The timing is advantageous, as they're not performing well, but it's dangerous that they have a very good team. And then there's the arrival of Rogério Ceni, a highly qualified coach. We'll try to give our best in this marathon; we know it will be match after match. Flamengo has excellent management in terms of flights and logistics; they always manage to provide the best for us. I'm sure it will be a great help. We need to really focus on this period of important matches and do our best, just like we are doing," he states. 

For Bruno Henrique, the success of the team's defensive sector starts with defense.

"Our team up front is led from the back. They're able to provide the support we need to play. That's what the coach always preaches: a team that defends well and can get forward well, thanks to our quality. By defending well, we can get forward countless times; that's clear. We've been able to meet expectations from midfield forward, but with everyone doing their part to the best of their ability, helping," he emphasizes. 

Before traveling to Belo Horizonte to face Cruzeiro, Flamengo will train this Friday morning (20), at Ninho do Urubu.
