Red-and-black idol also shared the joy he felt after ending an 11-game goal drought


Forward Bruno Henrique is coming off a game in which he scored two goals and, despite breaking his goal drought, the player had to address a controversial topic once again. This Wednesday (05), the red-and-black idol explained that he will play as a center forward whenever needed.

I want to make it clear once again. When Pedro injured his knee, I played that role in games at the beginning of the year — highlighted Bruno Henrique during the FlaPress show on the club’s YouTube channel, adding that:

What I wanted to explain, which wasn’t clear, is that when Pedro was fit to play, Pedro is the player for that position, he is the one who has to play. That’s what I wanted to make clear — stated the red-and-black idol.

What does Bruno Henrique say about the Libertadores final?

In the interview, Bruno Henrique said that the anticipation for the Libertadores final, on November 29th against Palmeiras, is contagious among the Flamengo squad. However, according to the forward, a mantra from the coach helps calm their nerves.

As Filipe (Luís) always says, it’s one game at a time. Before that (the final), we still have the Brazilian Championship ahead of us — highlighted Bruno Henrique.

Games to play and keep fighting for that title we also want to win. So, with these games we have, we need to prepare well to be even better on the 29th — pointed out BH 27.

Is the idol in good form?

Bruno Henrique also expressed his happiness at scoring again. That’s because his goals against Sport in the 31st round of the Brasileirão ended an 11-game streak without finding the net.

Will Bruno Henrique play Flamengo’s next match?

Suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards, Bruno Henrique will miss Flamengo’s game against São Paulo this Wednesday (05), for the 32nd round of the Brasileirão. Thus, the match at Vila Belmiro will kick off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time).
