Filipe Luís surprised by Viña in Flamengo v Bragantino: "I admit…" | OneFootball

Viña participated in both of Flamengo's goals against Bragantino

Viña entered the second half of the Flamengo game against Bragantino and helped with the 2-1 win for the rubro-negra team. The left-back participated in both of the Most Beloved team's goals and, as a result, received numerous compliments from Filipe Luís in a press conference on Wednesday (23).

— I wanted to start him as a starter today, it was my thought. But I even talked to Arrascaeta, if I started with him, I would have to take him out, because he's been out for 10 months without playing 90 minutes. So I preferred to use him in the second half, where we could exploit his attacking strength more -, he said, before concluding:

— Now, I confess that entering the way he did, after 10 months, I didn't expect him to finish the game the way he did. But it's no surprise, just see how he trains, how he's the first in everything, how he finishes training exhausted. Football pays you back -, he said.

DID VIÑA PARTICIPATE IN BOTH OF FLAMENGO'S GOALS?

The first goal for Flamengo came after Viña was fouled near the penalty area. As a result, Arrascaeta took the free kick, which Léo Pereira headed in, and all he had to do was push the ball into the net to tie the game.

Soon after, Viña made a beautiful run down the left side of the attack, at 40 minutes into the second half. The left-back passed the ball to Wallace Yan, who was inside the penalty area. The young player passed the ball to Wesley, who shot it into the net and secured the 2-1 comeback.

Now, Flamengo focuses on the duel with Atlético-MG, at Maracanã, for the 17th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match is scheduled for 8:30 PM (Brasília time) on Sunday (27), with transmission on Premiere, pay-per-view.
