They say Flamengo's jersey plays itself. And the mystique surrounding the Sacred Mantle and the spirit of the Red-Black team grows even stronger in times of adversity, especially in decisive matches. This Thursday (May 20.05), against Universidad de Chile, will be no different.
Coach Rogério Lourenço knows this can help his players and guarantees that his players will enter the field at Santa Laura Stadium with a strong desire to advance to the Libertadores semifinals.
"The team is really looking forward to qualifying. The team changed its approach in the match against Vitória, and I'm sure that will be repeated in Chile. In addition to the technical quality, the group has a lot of desire, and that's crucial. We'll have a team of warriors in this match," he said.
The red-black commander also points out the recipe for doing well in this second leg of the competition's quarterfinals: calmness.
"It's a 90-minute game, so patience is needed. There's no point in attacking desperately in the first few minutes. We'll go for the win from the start, yes, but with balance. That's what the team needs to win. This is an experienced, winning group that won't feel pressure," he added.
