In Flamengo's current squad, few players have faced Vasco as much as full-backs Leonardo Moura and Juan. The two, who have become two of Flamengo's main weapons in recent years, played another Clássico dos Milhões (Classic of Millions) last Sunday and believe that the draw was a good result, but that with a little more luck, they could have come away with the victory.
Leo Moura believes that Flamengo deserved the result, as they sought a goal throughout the entire match, unlike Vasco, who sat back after defender Dedé was sent off.
"Diogo has a future, he showed he has quality. And Flamengo was looking for a goal the whole time. We tried to win, while Vasco just wanted to waste time and control the game," he said.
Juan, for his part, believes that Flamengo lacked a bit of luck – especially in the play that led to Vasco's goal, where the ball hit Welinton and Juan before falling to Cesinha.
"It was a stroke of bad luck. Welinton cleared the ball very well, but I didn't even have time to think about getting my body out of the way of the ball. It hit the post and ended up going in. It's just bad luck," he added.
