The result wasn't good, but the round helped. Therefore, Flamengo, which never visited the relegation zone in the 2010 Brazilian Championship, is free from any threat. Thus, Vanderlei Luxemburgo was relieved and, as he likes to do, began to plan well for his team's next season.
The Flamengo coach acknowledged that his team did not play well this Sunday (November 28.11th) in Volta Redonda, when they lost 2-1 to Cruzeiro. Furthermore, Luxa made a point of praising the qualities of the opponent, who knew how to take advantage of a Flamengo mistake and also had some luck.
"We played poorly today, and Cruzeiro was very well organized. We conceded a goal after one of our corner kicks. We practiced that a lot, but it went wrong in that play. Their other goal came from an unexpected play, where the ball deflected off the wall and went in. The important thing is that we stayed in the first division. Now, it's time to calmly plan for next year," he stated.
Flamengo still has one match to play in this year's Brasileirão, next Sunday (December 05.12th), at 17 pm, against Santos, at Vila Belmiro. And if they manage a victory or a draw, depending on other results, the Rubro-negro could secure a spot in the 2011 Copa Sudamericana, the focus of Vanderlei Luxemburgo's work since he took over the team.
