Interviewed today at CT George Helal, coach Muricy Ramalho praised another "full" week of work. With the squad at his disposal, the coach focused on intense activities, praising Guerrero, Mancuello, and Marcelo Cirino, and previewing the match against Bangu. Check it out below.

full week
Essential because there is a long sequence of games and it is important to be well physically to endure the sequence. Having almost no one in the DM and recovering the players physically and technically. We hope to put this into practice in the game.

Mancuello
A player we missed, as he was in excellent form when he arrived. He had a serious injury and returned in excellent form. He's intelligent, reads the game, and organizes our team. He's a positive leader and incredibly important to us.

Praise for Guerrero
What Guerrero did is truly professional. It's hard to see that because he really exposed himself. Taking the kind of trip he did to play in the derby and playing at the level he did. He has the mentality to help the club. It's a sign of a professional, and Guerrero truly is very professional. 

Marcelo Cirino
I think he has the potential to do much more than he's doing. He's rare, has great speed, passes well, and has excellent headers and underhand shots. He can do more; what he did was normal. We expected that from him, considering what's happening in the games.

Decisive games
We already passed one final in the last game, now we have two more (Bangu and Confiança), but the most important thing is to arrive at the finals strong, as we are now: focused, strong physically, and in the fundamentals. We were inconsistent precisely due to a lack of training and travel; we went through this difficult period, which was important. If we qualify, Flamengo will fight for the title.

Bangu
We have to respect our opponents. Of course, they don't have a chance anymore, but they're professionals, they defend the club, and they play without pressure. We have an experienced team that takes this very seriously. Our team has to do what it did in the last game: respect the opponent and play to qualify, but our team has a lot of experience to do that.
