It's decision time! This Tuesday (30), Flamengo held the last training session before the return match against Emelec, for the Conmebol Libertadores. Before the activity, right-back Rafinha gave a press conference in the Victorino Chermont Press Room. 

Asked about how Flamengo will behave in the match, the number 13 was emphatic. 

"Of course we have our thoughts, our tactics, but what we plan doesn't always happen in the game. It's an adverse situation to be behind on the scoreboard, but our coach will be best positioned to explain it. He'll have everything laid out for us so we know all the strategies, positions... And on the field, it's up to us."

Knowing the importance of the support from the Biggest Fanbase in the World, Rafinha highlighted the team's mindset to secure a spot in the quarterfinals.

"It's a crucial match, a game that could define our situation in the competition and determine our qualification for the next phase. We're treating it like a final, the most important game we have this season. We need to overturn the score. We're counting on the support of the fans," he emphasized.
