Goalkeeper César, a standout player in the match, was praised by the manager at the press conference. "I'm very happy. César is a Flamengo goalkeeper, trained at Flamengo, who was waiting with great professionalism. He was our fourth goalkeeper, but we had the Diego Alves situation before Thiago. We had to wait to make that decision. He responded with attitude and demeanor, as well as great balance and structure," praised Rueda.
"Every week for Flamengo is very intense. I told them we would play a semester's worth of work today. We made a huge effort and faced many difficulties, but we also showed manliness, honor, unity, and solidarity. We played a good game and we're in the final. Flamengo and its fans deserve it," the coach exclaimed.
Concluding the press conference, the Colombian praised the importance of Juan and Diego on the field. "They are two extremely important leaders, they played for the national team, they are professional. They always pass on a wealth of experience to the younger players. This combination is crucial," the coach concluded.
The first match of the Conmebol South American final will be away from home against Independiente (ARG), on 6.12/17. Before that, however, Mais Querido ends its participation in the Brazilian Championship against Vitória, at XNUMX pm, at Barradão.
