After the great victory against Cruzeiro at the Maracanã, the Flamengo team trained at their headquarters in Gávea this Friday (September 11.09th). Number 4, Samir, gave a press conference to the media present. The defender spoke about the team's good form and the improvements in the defensive sector. Check out the main points highlighted by the player:
Hard work
We have to stay focused, keep doing what we've been doing, and keep our feet on the ground. We know that getting here wasn't easy, it was hard work, and staying here is even more difficult. We have to keep working so that we can remain in the top four.
One step at a time
"We have to think game by game, because we know there are quality opponents on the other side. But we also know our own capabilities, so we have to maintain our focus and play the way we've been playing, so that we can score points and continue these winning streaks we've been having. We have to take it one step at a time. Our goal was to get into the top four. We did. Now it's about staying there and playing so that we can get to the top."
Oswaldo de Oliveira
- Oswaldo brought us a new work philosophy, and we're managing to implement it well in the games. But our differential is the work that has been done since the beginning of the year, despite a lot of criticism. We've come together, and we're very focused on turning that criticism around to benefit our group. We've been working hard, correcting situations that were hindering us throughout the championship. Oswaldo has been correcting the smallest details so that we can give our best and not make any more mistakes in the games.
Trusted
- I'm super happy that Oswaldo gave me another opportunity to show my football. Thank God I had a good run of games, which I hadn't had since 2013, if I'm not mistaken. So my confidence is sky-high, but I have to keep my feet on the ground because every game is a game. I'm calm, I'm confident, so that I can continue helping Flamengo until the end of the year.
embezzlement
- Wallace and Emerson are two important players for us. Wallace is our captain and Emerson is a 37-year-old player, but he looks like a young boy. Their absence will be compensated for by the players who come in. The players who came in yesterday gave their best, like Luiz Antonio, who scored a beautiful goal. The substitutes who come in for the next game will also give their best.
Back
- Our defensive team, including myself, Pará, Wallace, Paulo Victor, and Jorge, has been doing specific work to ensure we don't concede goals from set pieces. If I'm not mistaken, we haven't conceded a goal from a set piece in five games, so that's extremely important for us. The numbers are showing that we're improving, so we're very happy about that.
cheering
- When the Flamengo fans are on our side, it's a wonderful thing. But we have to understand that when we're going through a tough time, they come to support us, but also to hold us accountable, because they also know our potential. We welcome any kind of complaint or any kind of praise, for the good of the team.
