The Flamengo fans are only thinking about victory.

A point against Cruzeiro could be enough for Flamengo to definitively escape the bottom of the table in this edition of the Brazilian Championship. However, the red-and-blacks are not thinking of going onto the field on Sunday (November 28.11th) to play for a draw. The players' idea is to seek victory from the start of the match.
Midfielder Renato points out that Flamengo cannot afford to drop points. He believes they need to win and accumulate as many points as possible. The defender believes the team must take advantage of playing at home in next Sunday's game.
"We have the advantage of playing at home. Cruzeiro and Santos are two great teams, just like us. It's going to be a classic match all the same. Both are difficult games. Flamengo is trying to stay in the first division, Cruzeiro is fighting for the title. We can't afford to drop points," he stated.
Welinton agrees and believes that Flamengo can only go onto the field thinking about winning. A draw might even end up being a good result, but the defender emphasizes that, normally, those who go onto the field thinking about getting a point end up with none.
"It's not possible. Our focus is on winning, on accumulating points to get out of this situation," he concluded.
