"I'll need to undergo procedures to recover as quickly as possible. I'll be re-evaluated in the next few days so I can continue working," said the number 15. "I think that at the end of the first half, I ended up getting a bit cold. I tried to do something to get back into the game, but unfortunately, it wasn't possible. I took some medication and underwent a procedure to suddenly give me more confidence, but my foot started to hurt a bit more," he explained.

Regarding his replacement, Réver was full of praise. "Léo came on very well. He's a player who always dedicates himself to every opportunity he gets, so we were happy with the result and with the players coming in who maintained the objective, which was victory. The team was coming off a tough game during the week, and we managed to win," he praised.

Today's match marked the Mais Querido's return to winning ways after two tough games in a row. The club's captain analyzed the context of Flamengo's tough week of important matches, emphasizing the importance of concentration to consistently achieve positive results in these and other matches.

"You enter a derby with a second-string team, and the competition that was worth nothing becomes worth a lot. Then comes a Libertadores debut against a tough team, with tradition, giving up two draws, and that generates a lot. But we know our potential, we can give more. We have to adapt to these matches as soon as possible, because it's the small details that end up deciding things," he concluded.
