Muricy sees Flamengo "clicking" and praises the team's speed.
The coach likes the team's attitude: "We went in with that spirit."
By Communication - Official Club Website - in
Flamengo's 5-0 thrashing of Resende was the result of a great offensive performance by the Rubro-Negro, who scored two goals in five minutes in the first half and another two in eight minutes of play in the second half. For Muricy Ramalho, this is the product of fast players exploiting the flanks of the field: "It becomes difficult to mark them."

Lightning goals
We have very fast players on the wings. When it works like that, it's difficult to mark them. Rodinei, Cirino, Emerson, Jorge, and Arão all getting close... they're clicking. We went into the game with that spirit, with a rested team, we talked about that before the game, we reminded them that the opponent would feel it because they played during the week and the team that played today didn't. So we were also superior physically. We're improving little by little, on the right track.
Cirino is in good form.
He's a player I already wanted when I was at São Paulo. We were interested, but Flamengo got there first. He has a lot of speed and when he's concentrated and focused, he's very difficult to stop. He and Emerson have to use what they do best, that speed on the wings.
Midfield with Cuéllar and Mancuello
Today in football, the defensive midfielder has to play. We chose him (Cuéllar) because of his history of good passing, movement, and his very important short tackles. He's been adapting little by little, in a very good environment. As for Mancuello, he sees the game very well and gave a beautiful pass to Cirino.
Departures of Mancuello and Éverton
Those were the two who played this week. We'll wait for the medical team to report back so they can say what happened. We know Mancuello suffered a trauma, and Everton's was his left thigh. They played on a heavy field and felt it a bit. But we've had few injuries; these things happen.
Quality
We have the players to do it; besides playing well, we have to win. They are high-speed players with good technique, so we have to play better, we have to improve one thing or another. We've already improved our passing. Last year there were many misplaced passes. We've improved, but it's only been two months, it's still a very short time.
A team that asserts itself on the field.
What we can take away from this match is what we discussed before the game: a team that is aware of what it's doing. We needed to impose ourselves. They are working hard, they are committed. We played three games against big teams from Série A. Against Vasco, Fluminense, and América-MG, we lost two and won one. Little by little we are finding our rhythm, and we can already get an idea of what we'll see on the field.
Last round against Bangu
The game should be on Saturday. Our schedule has changed a bit. We're going back to training at Ninho, taking advantage of the very good facilities. We'll use this time to have meetings, see how the players are doing, but we need to be patient to decide what we're going to do. We'll see if we make changes, if we mix things up. What we're doing is working well. We'll see if any players have problems or feel any pain.
Ederson
The expectation exists on the part of the people, not us. It's within our planning. He's been away for a long time, he's in very strong physical condition, but he's done a lot of small-sided games. He lacks a sense of space, which is normal, he hasn't played for a long time, but he's on the right track. What he's been training is impressive. We might take him to the next game, but I will never override the opinion of the doctors, trainers, and physiologists. He might be able to play 15 or 20 minutes. We'll see.
