The Flamengo's number one, Diego Alves, commented on the team's 1-2 loss to Botafogo as the team left the stadium. In the so-called "mixed zone," the goalkeeper showed character as he analyzed the setback:
"A defeat is never easy to swallow. We know we didn't play well in the second half. Now, we have to analyze our mistakes and correct them so that in the next rounds we have another chance to win. We could have climbed the table with this round's results, but now it's time to work."
Before concluding his conversation with journalists, Diego Alves rejected any kind of extra pressure.
"I'm used to it. Playing for Flamengo is a big responsibility."
Diego Alves and the red-and-black squad's next challenge will be against Chapecoense next Wednesday at Arena Condá. The match is part of the round of 20 of the CONMEBOL South American Championship. The return leg will be in Rio de Janeiro on the XNUMXth.
