Last Monday (25), Flamengo delivered a 'textbook' performance, scoring eight goals against their opponent without conceding any. After the match, Léo Ortiz celebrated the achievement of the red-black defense not being breached and also commented that the team gets angry when they concede 'silly goals'.
— It is extremely important for us not to concede goals. I think from the second or third goal onwards, we were talking about maintaining the pace and not conceding. After all, a goal in the first half can cause relaxation and change the game. Of course, with a more elastic score, the team tends to relax and ends up conceding silly goals -, he stated, before concluding:
— We get very angry when we concede a silly goal. We didn't want to give them (Vitória) that margin, and the coolest thing is that it doesn't just depend on us in defense. At all times, the attack and the midfielders came and said: “we're not going to concede a goal”. It's a mentality of the whole group –, concluded Léo Ortiz.
Flamengo showed no mercy to Vitória and achieved the biggest win in the history of the Brasileirão in the points system. Pedro (3x), Samuel Lino (2x), Arrascaeta, Luiz Araújo, and Bruno Henrique were the scorers for Mengão. With the victory, the Red-Black remained at the top of the tournament, with 46 points.
Flamengo's next commitment of the season is against Grêmio, on Sunday (31), for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. In summary, the match kicks off at 4 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV will provide details of the match with live coverage by Leo José and Rodrigo Lima, on YouTube. Finally, Rede Globo (open channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match.
