Flamengo defeated Madureira 3-0 this Sunday (22), in the first leg of the Carioca semifinal. Despite the victory, the red-black fans booed the players, especially after the end of the first half. Thus, Danilo commented on the fans' demands.
— It's a situation that the vast majority of players have experienced, not just at Flamengo. We have to be smart, we have to be clear-headed. The fans will want urgency, to attack, to score goals. Flamengo belongs to the people, they demand, pay for tickets, push us at the airport, in the finals, wherever -, he said, before concluding:
— It's up to us to be clear-headed on the field, to face the match correctly, with defensive vigilance, attacking safely. I am absolutely confident that Thursday will be an important night for us -, concluded Danilo.
Before the start of the match, the Flamengo fans booed and criticized the team due to recent performances on the field. In the game against Lanús (ARG), for example, the Most Beloved underperformed and lost 1-0 in the first leg of the Recopa Sudamericana final.
Moreover, Flamengo did not perform well in the first half against Madureira. For this reason, during the break, the fans booed and criticized the red-black players amidst the below-expected performance.
Despite a below-normal attendance against Madureira, the Flamengo fans are close to selling out the tickets for the game against Lanús, on Thursday (26), for the return leg of the Recopa Sudamericana. At this moment, more than 50,000 tickets have already been sold for the continental decision.
With Danilo available, Flamengo returns to the field this Thursday (26) to face Lanús, in the return leg of the Recopa Sudamericana. The decisive match takes place at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the game between Flamengo and Lanús, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, ESPN (closed channel) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the Recopa match.
