Flamengo's main midfielder, midfielder Ibson, called for calm from the red-black squad after the last two defeats.

"We have to try to stay calm despite the two defeats. We're working to recover those lost points. We'll stay calm, since our team is good and we have great players. I'm sure positive results will return."

For Gávea's number 7, the important thing in the Brazilian Championship is to stay at the top of the table.

"There are 25 rounds left in the championship, and we have to stay in the top four to fight for the title. It's very important to stay in the top positions."
