After the 2-2 draw against Palmeiras at Ilha do Urubu, defender Rafael Vaz spoke to the press in the stadium's mixed zone and analyzed the result. He also previewed the red-and-black team's next match.

"It was a very open game. Palmeiras were fortunate to score when they had the chance, but our team also played very well. It's time to be cautious and keep our heads in the game, as we have another match on Saturday. The Brazilian league is very difficult, and it's clear that no one here is happy with this result. There's a lot to happen in the championship," analyzed the defender.

Regarding the goals in the Brasileirão, the defender preached calm and focus for the red-and-black team. "Our motto is to take it one game at a time. Of course, with our squad, Flamengo has an obligation to focus on the title. We know our responsibility. We have another match on Saturday, and we need to stay grounded to turn things around. We lost some important points, but our team has the quality to turn things around."

Next Saturday (22), Flamengo will have a new challenge at Ilha do Urubu. Against Coritiba, at 19 pm, Mais Querido will seek the three points for the Brazilian Championship. "We have to respect them. It's an important game for both teams. We play at home, so the responsibility is ours", concluded the number 33.
