Bruno Henrique hails Flamengo prep, eyes trophies: "Keep fighting" | OneFootball

With Pedro's injury, Bruno Henrique has regained his place in the starting lineup of Flamengo. The Rubro-Negro forward praised the preparation of Filipe Luís's team, celebrated the team's form — including his return to scoring after two months — and is aiming for titles in the final stretch of the season.

“Very high expectations. We know the responsibility and everything that lies ahead. As Filipe always says: it's game by game. Before that (Libertadores final), there's still the Brazilian Championship. We will keep fighting for the titles and we need to prepare well,” said the forward in an interview with FlaTV.

At the right moment

Competing for the Brasileirão and Libertadores titles with Palmeiras, Bruno Henrique celebrated his return to form. Before scoring twice against Sport, the forward had gone 12 games without finding the net. The last time he scored was in the 8-0 thrashing of Vitória. “It's very important to score again… Especially after a period without goals,” he emphasized.

The forward also commented on replacing Pedro. Bruno Henrique recalled that he had already played the center-forward role at the start of the season and stated that he plays in any position Filipe Luís assigns him. However, the multi-champion of the Rubro-Negro made a point of acknowledging that his former Fluminense teammate is the starter for the position.

“When Pedro injured his knee, I took on that role. When he (Pedro) is fit to play, he owns the position, he is the one who has to play. I want to make that clear. But if Filipe chooses me, I will be there to help Flamengo,” he concluded.

Second in the Brazilian Championship, with 64 points — one less than Palmeiras, the leader — Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), when they visit São Paulo at Morumbi, for the 32nd round of the competition.
