In 25 games this season, Flamengo failed to score only once. With Adriano and Vagner Love on the field, and with at least one of them scoring, the team only lost once, to Botafogo in the Taça Rio final. With 13 goals from the Emperor and 17 from the Artilheiro do Amor this year, the team from Gávea reaches the round of XNUMX of the Copa Libertadores, counting on the talent of its attacking duo to advance in the competition.
"It's an important number, for sure, and I hope we can repeat that and help Flamengo secure a spot in the next round," said Vagner Love.
Rubro-Negro's top scorer this year, Love is betting that the match in São Paulo, against Corinthians, will be very difficult and believes that the team cannot go onto the field thinking about the advantage gained with the 1-0 victory at Maracanã.
"It's going to be a completely different game there. Of course, we have a one-goal advantage, and that's important, but we know we have to play on the attack. We can't go out there just thinking about defending, because that could end up hurting us. Every team that plays defensively ends up losing control and conceding a goal. We have to take advantage of the ball coming out and counterattacks to increase our advantage," he analyzed.
The Artilheiro do Amor believes that his teammates cannot fear the pressure from Corinthians fans and guarantees that Flamengo has every chance of returning from São Paulo with qualification.
"They'll be motivated to win the game, with the fans behind them, and the pressure will be immense. But we can't let ourselves be influenced. On the field, it's eleven against eleven, and we have to be patient and know how to take advantage of our chances to qualify," he concluded.
