The Flamengo Nation didn't expect Flamengo to be defeated by Universidad de Chile at the Maracanã Stadium last Wednesday. The Chileans' 3-2 scoreline forces the Flamengo team to beat them in Santiago by two goals. The task is difficult, and the players know it, but not impossible. Therefore, one of the athletes most closely identified with the fans, Vagner Love, urges them to continue believing in the team.
Flamengo's top scorer this season, with 18 goals in 23 games, Love knows that fans always want to see the team win and guarantees that the team has the conditions to return from Santiago with a spot in the semifinals of the Copa Santander Libertadores da América.
"We know the fans are wary of the last few games, but we know our potential. We had a lot of chances at Maracanã and we know we can go there and score the two goals we need. We believe we have what it takes," he said.
The striker believes that the team needs to be calm when working the ball and shooting on goal to be able to surprise the Chileans at the Santa Laura stadium.
"I think we have to work the ball more, be more calm. We only did that in the second half of the game against Universidad. Against us, we'll have to do that from the start," analyzed Vagner Love.
