Bruno Henrique on Flamengo’s error vs Internacional: “Jorginho said…” | OneFootball

Flamengo's Goal Scorer Bruno Henrique Sends Message to Teammates

Flamengo defeated Internacional 1-0 on Wednesday (13) in the round of 16 of the Libertadores. A win at Maracanã, an advantage for the second leg, and everything is fine? Not quite, at least for Bruno Henrique. The author of the game's goal gave his diagnosis on why Mengo had a great first half but fell off in the final stretch.

— We, in the second half, in the first 15 minutes, we want to score the goal right away and end up deviating from what we planned at halftime. We end up getting a bit exposed, and the opposing team marks us a lot in the first half. In the second half, they have to open up to try to score —, said Bruno Henrique.

— That's what happened with Internacional, they marked us the whole time in the first half, we had more possession, more shots, more depth. We took possession in the first half and in the second half by wanting to score the second goal right away, it ends up opening up a bit. It's a point that we need to improve, Jorginho just told me that, so we need to try to improve more in the first 15 minutes of the second half —, he added.

HOW WAS THE GAME?

In the first half, Flamengo didn't let Internacional play, with 73% possession and eight shots on goal. However, in the final stretch, Mengo got tired. As a result, the Rubro-Negro had 59% possession after the break and only two shots, while the Gauchos had four.

WHEN WILL THE RETURN GAME BE?

With Flamengo one draw away from qualifying for the quarterfinals, the return game takes place next Wednesday (20) at the Beira-Rio Stadium in Porto Alegre. Before that, however, the teams meet again in the Brasileirão on Sunday (17), also in the South, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time).
