Flamengo won another Brazilian Championship and now leads the competition. After the 3-0 away win over Ceará, midfielder Cuéllar emphasized the importance of the positive result and praised Lucas Paquetá. 


"We played a great, intelligent game. Paquetá is a star, very easy to play alongside. He had a great game and helped a lot with the marking. The pressing is normal. It was a small minority. The majority of Flamengo fans supported us, and it will be very important this year," he said. 

The 3-0 victory against the Ceará team began with two goals from Vinicius Jr, and the Colombian also had nothing but praise for his teammate. 

"Vinícius Jr. is a star too (laughs). A player who defines the game many times. I hope he's happy here with us. He's very important to us."

Finally, Cuéllar spoke about the pressure of playing for Flamengo and projected a successful season at the club. 

"As I said, pressure is normal at a club as big as Flamengo. It was a small minority (at the airport). We accept pressure, but not aggression. We demonstrated today that we have the squad to aim for big things," he concluded.
