By From the team at Flamengo's official website - in
Flamengo returned to Rio de Janeiro this Thursday, after the defeat to Universidad Católica, in Santiago, disappointed with the result, but motivated to reverse the difficult situation in the fight for qualification to the round of 16 of the Copa Santander Libertadores.
Serbian Petkovic stated that the result was obviously not what all the red-blacks were expecting, but he showed full confidence in a victory against Caracas, next Wednesday, at Maracanã.
"It wasn't the result we wanted. The first goal really complicated our situation on the field. However, it's clear that we can get the result against Caracas," said Pet.
A victory over the Venezuelans could guarantee the red-blacks a spot in the next round, and therefore, there is no reason to despair in Gávea.
"In Chile, we made a mistake, conceded a goal and couldn't equalize after that. Now, we have to win against Caracas to qualify," said midfielder Willians.
For the Love Gunner, Vagner Love, the recipe for getting the spot is simple: dedication and tranquility.
"We didn't play well. We conceded a goal early on and it really complicated things for us. We knew we couldn't afford a negative result, but it ended up happening. We need to be patient and fight for qualification until the end," Love added.
