The match against Guarani was treated like a championship final for Flamengo. Against Cruzeiro, it will be no different.

And Flamengo's players are motivated for this decisive match.
Midfielder Maldonado warns that the match will be another final for the team from Gávea. According to him, Cruzeiro is a great team, and the match won't be easy. For the Chilean, Flamengo needs to improve its football to secure a victory.
"Cruzeiro is in great form, they're a very good, very strong team. They've shown that in the competition. They've always been at the top. We have to improve, do what we haven't done. There's still a lot to do. It'll be another decision," he said.
Maldonado believes that tenacity and patience are key at this point. He believes Cruzeiro is a formidable opponent, but Flamengo has the potential to secure a victory.
"The intensity and quality of both teams are very good. We have to be patient. Playing against Cruzeiro isn't easy. It's going to be very difficult for us. We're facing the entire Cruzeiro team, as they've shown. They have a lot of quality. We hope this game is vital to finally getting us out of the situation we're in," he concluded.
