On Wednesday night (2), Flamengo went to the Moisés Lucarelli stadium and beat Ponte Preta 1-0 in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. After the victory, defender Réver spoke to the press about the red-black performance and the defensive system, which completed four consecutive games without conceding goals.

“We did achieve a good result. It could have been better if we had scored more goals, but winning and convincing away from home is always good. It's also to the coach's credit for the way he's been implementing his style of play. The group is assimilating it well. From the moment that happens, the results come. I'm happy with the score; it's another game without conceding a goal. This is the sum of hard work and dedication, and it shows that we are on the right track,” analyzed the captain.

Flamengo returns to the field next Sunday (6), when they face Internacional, at 16 pm, at Maracanã. For the Copa do Brasil, Mais Querido will host Ponte Preta again on Thursday, at 19:30 pm, at the same stadium.
