What did Bruno Henrique say after Flamengo x Cusco (PER) in the Copa Libertadores?


Bruno Henrique scored one of Flamengo’s goals in the 2-0 win over Cusco (PER) in the team’s Libertadores opener. After the match, the No. 27 praised the performance of the entire squad and revealed what the players discussed before kickoff at Peru’s 3,400-meter altitude.

Not just me, but Arrascaeta and the whole group deserve congratulations for the match we played here today. It was a very difficult game, and it weighs on you a bit. But we talked in the locker room that the altitude couldn’t get in our way on the pitch, especially because of the quality we have. Very happy with this first step, and we’ll keep pushing forward on our journey -, Bruno Henrique said in an interview with ‘GE TV’.
