On the night of last Wednesday (October 14.10th), Flamengo went to the Orlando Scarpelli stadium for the 30th round of the Brazilian Championship, but ended up losing to Figueirense 3-0. Despite having ample possession of the ball, the red-and-black team had difficulty finishing and did not return from Santa Catarina with the three points.
On Sunday, Flamengo will face another challenge in the fight for a spot in the top four, in a direct confrontation against Internacional, and, according to Oswaldo de Oliveira, the team will need a different attitude on the field to achieve victory. After the match against Figueirense, the coach lamented the defeat in a press conference.

Team attitude
There was a difference in attitude, in team spirit, in posture. Today Flamengo was a shadow of what it was, for example, against Joinville. We really need more time to work together. We've been here for less than two months, we've had some very good games, but the team today was truly unrecognizable. It was a night to forget. We have to change this posture and attitude so that by Sunday Flamengo can find the path it had been on until now.
Emerson
Emerson suffered an injury and was sidelined from training; in fact, he only returned to training the day before the game. He's a very important player who can perform much better.
Time to work
Flamengo is a team that is restructuring and needs to complete several stages to become balanced. I've been at Flamengo for two months, or maybe not even that. If we're talking about time, I worked for two years at Botafogo, winning a Carioca championship and qualifying for the Libertadores Cup. I worked for a year at Corinthians, winning a Paulista championship, a Brazilian championship, and a Club World Cup. I worked for five years in Japan, winning nine titles and a three-peat. When you have continuity to work, it reflects in the titles and the team's performance. Flamengo is very big, I'm arriving and putting in the effort. Everyone at Flamengo is trying to do their best, but today, unfortunately, we were unrecognizable.
