After the match against Cruzeiro, on Wednesday night (June 03.06rd), at Mineirão, Flamengo coach Cristóvão Borges spoke to the press. Despite the unfavorable score, the coach saw positive points in the team's performance and believes in a recovery.

The situation is very bad; we need to break the streak of negative results. We can only break it with a win, and we haven't managed any yet. Logically, it's becoming increasingly difficult, and when you lose, there's usually no room for excuses.

The team improved, they played a good game today. If it weren't for this defeat, we would certainly have received praise. Their commitment on the field and their (the players') dissatisfaction with the current situation are evident. We all want to get out of this situation. With the spirit we've been showing, we'll definitely get out of it soon.

We need to assemble the team, and since we've barely had any time to train since we arrived – and we won't have any until next week – all these things are working against us. But we're aware of what we're doing and that the group can perform better than it has shown so far.
