"Nobody wanted to win the game alone"

Silas believes that Flamengo has the quality and a lot of desire to start in the Brasileirão

Quality alone isn't enough. Neither is grit. But a combination of these two ingredients is the recipe for success with the Flamengo jersey. That's what the red-and-black team showed this Wednesday (September 15.09) against Grêmio Prudente, and that's why coach Silas praised his team so much after the match.
\
\ The red-black coach explained the attacking stance during the\ game and demonstrated confidence in the homogeneity of the squad in search of a \ surge towards the top of the table.
\
"I think our option is to play the game, to win. I went in with two midfielders, a classic 4-4-2, knowing we would be playing against a closed team, in a 3-5-2. We ended up conceding a goal due to a lack of attention, but I kept the option for attack. I took off Correa and put in Pet, Kleberson to value possession, and the team didn't despair. Nobody wanted to win the game alone. We were rewarded for persisting with a lot of grit and sweat," he said.
\
The coach took the opportunity to praise the arrival of young Diego Maurício and also the strength of the red-black squad, which has many players capable of wearing the Flamengo shirt and honoring it.
\
"Diego is coming on well. He's a promising player who is being worked on. Kleberson, on the other hand, felt a bit of fatigue, which is normal. All teams suffer from this, but we're not giving up fighting. It's up to us to get ahead, not let ourselves get so exhausted, pass the ball around and manage the game. Coming from behind is more difficult, but the team deserves congratulations," he added.
