Negative string

We've suffered several defeats. Aside from the Figueirense game, we're not playing so poorly as to be doing that. We're working hard to bounce back and put Flamengo back on the winning track.

Climate in the locker room

Everyone is very sad, we lost another game. I tried to comfort them, give them strength. We need to work hard to win the next match.

Table
I still have to analyze the schedule, watch all the games... As long as we have any chance, we'll fight. We'll work to rebuild the team. First, try to win the next one. From there, we'll see what can be done.

Expulsion

Guerrero is an experienced player. We didn't expect him to react this way, but if you look at him, he's been taking a lot of fouls that aren't called. He ends up throwing the player off balance. In the first half, the Grêmio player went up with his elbow. The referee didn't allow it. Everything has its limits; it's human nature. It doesn't justify what he did, but he deserves a little more respect. He's the only foreign player playing in Brazil who was among the best in the Brazilian Championship. He has a number of qualities.
