"Once again, we didn't kill the game when we had the chance and then suffered for it. The fans are tired of hearing excuses, but today it was clear that we could have come away with a better result, especially in the first half. We need to change our posture and attitude on the field, move away from rhetoric and put into practice what Zé Ricardo asks. He ends up being criticized for the result, even though he's not entirely to blame for it. On the field, we ended up leaving a lot to be desired," Réver reflected.

"Going three games without a win creates this discomfort not only for the fans, but also for the players. A team that wants to compete for a title can't go too long without winning. There were three tough matches against Grêmio, Cruzeiro, and Palmeiras, but we need to change our approach. Once again, we drew, and the fans left unhappy, but I completely understand the pressure we have to give. The team fought until the end once again, but unfortunately, we couldn't kill the match," said the captain.

Flamengo is already preparing for its next challenge, as it faces Coritiba on Saturday (22), at 19 pm, at Ilha do Urubu. Tickets are already on sale at flamengo.com.br/tickets.
