After three weeks of training and recovery, coach Maurício Barbieri made final adjustments to the team before facing São Paulo. On the eve of the match against the São Paulo team, the manager held a press conference at Ninho do Urubu and analyzed the match, which will be part of the 13th round of the Brazilian Championship.
"A difficult and complicated game. São Paulo is in good form and has a qualified squad. We prepared as best we could during this period. We recovered after a tough run. Flamengo arrives well prepared, but aware of the difficulties we will face in this game. That's why we count on the fans to support us to be stronger as a team."
The commander also took the opportunity to comment on the time he had to work during the break for the World Cup in Russia.
"It was a good time we had, and we were able to make the most of it. The important thing is that we gained options and variations for the championship. We'll study our opponents and then analyze the best way to enter the games."
Finally, Barbieri emphasized the importance of the nation's support. For the manager, Flamengo's fans make all the difference in matches and intimidate opponents who come to play at Maracanã.
"The fans' support is crucial for us. These last few months have been very positive in terms of delivering the results they expected. The atmosphere with 60 fans is fantastic, it makes all the difference and also intimidates the opponent. We hope to count on the fans' support once again as we seek victory."
