Bruno Henrique quote that eases Flamengo fears after Vitória win

Flamengo beat Vitória 2-0 at the Maracanã in the 22nd round of the Brasileirão

Flamengo’s 2-0 win over Vitória this Sunday (09) featured a brilliant goal by Bruno Henrique that gave the fans confidence. At the Maracanã, the rubro-negro idol celebrated the result in the 22nd round of the Brasileirão and looked ahead to the Libertadores round of 16 against Cruzeiro.

– Of course, when you win, everything isn’t automatically right, and when you lose, everything isn’t automatically wrong. So we have to know how to handle these moments, but, as I said, take responsibility together so we can reach our ultimate goal this year. So the message I want to leave is that we are going to win -, said ‘BH 27’ after the match.

What moments is Bruno Henrique referring to?

Mengão returned to winning ways in the Brazilian Championship after two draws against São Paulo and Palmeiras. That winless run allowed the São Paulo side to pull away at the top of the table, but Fla closed the gap again, reducing it to six points.

In addition, Mais Querido has had a frustrating transfer window so far. After all, Mengo worked hard to sign Thiago Almada, who chose River Plate (ARG). Then it focused its efforts on bringing in Luiz Henrique, who preferred to stay at Zenit (RUS).

So, the win over Vitória serves as a breather for the rubro-negro fans. That’s because Mengo had gone nine days without playing. The previous week had been reserved for Copa do Brasil matches, a competition from which Fla had already been eliminated.

Who did Bruno Henrique dedicate the goal to?

I want to dedicate this goal to my father, my grandfather, and to all the fathers of the Flamengo Nation as well. It was a very difficult match. Today we controlled the game very well in the first half and in the second too,” he said.

Why didn’t Flamengo score more goals?

I think we were lacking in finishing the moves when we had the opportunity; in the end, we didn’t finish them. But, thank God, I made my first touch on the ball count there and hit a beautiful shot -, he said.

How do you balance the Brasileirão and the Libertadores?

That’s it, now we have to keep our work going. We know we have to focus on ourselves, not think too far ahead. The championship is still very long, and today’s win gives us confidence to go to Belo Horizonte, face another great team once again, and play a good match -, he said.

Is Flamengo in crisis?

Look, regardless of what people say, we also have to take responsibility. We have a great team, a great squad, and we’ve already bounced back in moments like these -, he warned.
