Saúl warns Flamengo squad after biggest Brasileirão thrashing | OneFootball

Flamengo will have an important schedule in September

Flamengo made light work of Vitória last Monday (25), delivering a historic 8-0 thrashing at Maracanã, in a match valid for the Campeonato Brasileiro. This Friday (29), midfielder Saúl Ñíguez commented on the strong performance but looked ahead to the rest of the season, calling for focus in the upcoming challenges.

— Every match is different; we treat each one as a final until the end of the year. It's true that, against Vitória, we had a perfect game. All the forwards managed to score a goal, we played well, and we didn't concede — began Saúl Ñíguez this Friday (29).

— But the matches to come will be very difficult. Each game will be different. And when there is so much expectation, I believe that can be dangerous. So, everything will be different, and we will need to work hard to secure the three points — concluded the midfielder in a press conference.

HOW WAS THE 8-0 WIN?

Flamengo started the game at full throttle and, within the first three minutes, took a 2-0 lead. Before halftime, the red-and-black team extended it to 3-0. However, the team led by Filipe Luís stepped up even more and finished the game with an 8-0 victory over Vitória at Maracanã.

WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF THE SEASON?

Thus, Flamengo will have an important schedule ahead. That's because the team led by Filipe Luís faces matches in the Campeonato Brasileiro and the Copa Libertadores, against Estudiantes (ARG), after the FIFA break, which takes place at the beginning of September.
