Earning a point away from home in the Brazilian Championship, especially against Vitória at Barradão Stadium, can't be considered a bad result. That's what the Flamengo players think, who drew 1-1 with the red-and-black team from Bahia on Saturday night. It's true that the result could have been better, but it ended up being a good result.
Defender Ronaldo Angelim praised Elkson's free kick, which resulted in Vitória's equalizer, and lamented the state of the Barradão pitch after the heavy rain that fell in Salvador.
"Their player hit the ball very well. It was very difficult to play on that heavy grass. We scored the goal, we could have won, but we didn't. Given the circumstances, it ended up being a good result for Flamengo," he said.
Willians pointed to the team's fatigue, which returned to play twice a week, combined with the heavy pitch as the main factors in the draw not being a victory.
"We felt like we had to play Wednesday and Sunday back-to-back. On this pitch, it was even more difficult. There are so many games and so little rest. We ended up conceding a goal at the end of the game, but it was still a good result for our team," he said.
David has already warned that now is the time to forget this result and start thinking about Thursday's Libertadores match.
"Our team was doing well, but the pitch made things very difficult. Of course we wanted to win the game, but now that's in the past and we have to think about the Libertadores," he added.
