The match is over, and now it's time to look at the details and start thinking about Wednesday. After the match, Flamengo players met with the press at the Libertadores de América stadium in Buenos Aires, and the sentiment was unanimous: nothing is decided, and the Maracanã will be a different story.
"We know the final wasn't decided today. There are 180 minutes. Today was just the first 90. If they think they put pressure on here, they'll see on Wednesday, with our fans, at Maracanã. I'm sure we'll give everything to win the title," said full-back Pará.
Tickets for the second leg are already sold out, and more than 60 Flamengo fans are expected to attend the decisive match of the Copa CONMEBOL Sudamericana. The 2-1 result for Independiente in the first leg gives the Argentines a temporary advantage, but Flamengo knows what it needs to do and how to capitalize on home advantage to secure its first title.
"We know we gave our all here. The result wasn't what we wanted, and on Wednesday we'll do everything we can for the title. We'll now have a week to work and rest, as we're coming off a very long marathon," concluded Pará.
Flamengo returns to Rio this Thursday and resumes training on Friday afternoon at CT George Helal, at 16 pm.
