What Did Danilo Say After the Flamengo vs. Madureira Match in the Carioca?


Danilo gave an interview after Flamengo’s 3-0 victory over Madureira in the semifinal of the Carioca. In one of his statements, the number 13 of Mengão made a point of clarifying that the current moment for Rubro-Negro is not one of the best in the season. Additionally, the defender explained the reason behind the players’ subdued celebrations after scoring goals.

— We know that, in terms of results, we are far below what is expected of this squad, what it means to play for Flamengo, and what the fans rightly demand from all of us. Today (yesterday), there was no other result for us except victory, — he said, before concluding:

— So, for that reason, understanding that this is not a time for celebration or making a lot of noise, the goals were celebrated in a more restrained and reflective manner. That’s how it works, and we are going after the trophy on Thursday (26th), — concluded Danilo in his post-match interview this Sunday (22nd).

HOW DID THE PLAYERS CELEBRATE DURING THE FLAMENGO VS. MADUREIRA MATCH?

All three of Flamengo’s goal celebrations were subdued, without much euphoria. Thus, De La Cruz, Arrascaeta, and Luiz Araújo did not go toward the stands and chose to celebrate their achievements together with their teammates on the field.

Even with the ‘shyness’ in their celebrations, the Flamengo squad responded and secured a large advantage for the return match against Madureira. Now, Rubro-Negro can lose by up to two goals next Monday (2nd) and still advance to the final of the Carioca.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

Before the Carioca, however, Flamengo will take the field to face Lanús (ARG) in the return leg of the Recopa Sudamericana. The match kicks off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Thursday (26th) at Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover all the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media.
