Page quickly turned after the Taça Rio semi-final. Thinking about another important round in the Conmebol Libertadores Bridgestone, the Flamengo players spoke to journalists in the mixed zone at Maracanã after the match against Vasco. Rodinei highlighted the good performance shown by Mais Querido on Saturday night (08), an important factor for the team's morale in the match against Atlético-PR.

"We had more possession and the goal didn't come. But now we just have to think about Wednesday's game," said the right-back, who predicted a full stadium due to the high demand for tickets from Flamengo fans throughout the week, and also commented on what he expects from the match. "The Maracanã will be packed, beautiful as always, just like it was against San Lorenzo. Atlético-PR will come with their style of play, but we're going for the win to secure qualification for the Libertadores," he added.

Also in the mixed zone, Gabriel highlighted the advantage Flamengo gained for the Carioca Championship semi-final, emphasizing the importance of this condition in the most important semi-final of this State Championship. "We have the advantage in what matters most. Our championship isn't the Taça Rio, but the Carioca, which decides everything," commented the striker, who also guaranteed total focus on the match against Atlético-PR, valid for the group stage of the Conmebol Libertadores Bridgestone. "On Wednesday we have an extremely important game for us and we need to come out all guns blazing," he concluded.

Flamengo will resume preparations for the match on Monday morning (10), in training at Ninho do Urubu. Next Wednesday (12), the teams will face each other in front of a Maracanã. The Most Beloved will count on the support of the Nation to fight for victory in another great challenge in the most important competition on the continent.
