"Palmeiras started better. We only got our marking right at the end. We were doing well in the game and it mattered for our position. Palmeiras scored a goal when we made a mistake, but the game was even. We conceded that goal and it was disheartening. Then came the equalizer and the game slowed down a lot towards the end. We were almost certain it would end in a draw. Unfortunately, once again we didn't get it right, and the goal came in the 45th minute," Jayme analyzed.
The coach also spoke about the team's performance throughout the Brazilian Championship. Flamengo managed a historic run of six consecutive victories., but failed to secure a place among the top four.
"This year was a great learning experience. Flamengo had everything to finish in the top spots, but we ended up finishing in a melancholic way... In sports, defeat is a way to try to grow and improve. We played six very good games, but we let it slip away, and from the Coritiba game onwards, our team became very unstable and finished in a way that nobody expected. We had a lot of faith, the fans had a lot of faith. We let it slip away," he lamented.
