"Now we have to continue in this condition. We'll play the remaining two matches to finish the championship in the best possible position. Next year will be a consequence. The games continue and, of course, Flamengo is planning for the following season," he stated.

The coach also analyzed the match, in which Flamengo came out stronger after halftime but couldn't maintain the lead. "Both teams put in the effort. Ponte Preta started better and deserved the goal. We came back stronger in the second half and got the goal. The game had its ups and downs, but I don't see it as a lack of interest because both teams fought hard," he explained.
