Danilo takes blame for Internacional goal v Flamengo: "Lack of..." | OneFootball

Danilo entered the game between Flamengo and Internacional at 22 minutes of the second half

Returning from injury, Danilo returned to the field in the second half of Flamengo's 3-1 win over Internacional, on Sunday (17), for the Campeonato Brasileiro. Despite the positive result, the defender acknowledged a mistake in the opponent's goal and took responsibility for the play. Still, he highlighted the team's defensive consistency and valued the collective effort.

— Today, first of all, it's a lot of responsibility on my part, due to a lack of reaction there. So, certainly, I should and must do better in that play. But it's a defense of great quality, with players of the Brazilian national team level, and each one in their respective selection -, he said.

After assuming the mistake in the opponent's goal, Danilo also made a point of valuing the team's overall performance. The defender emphasized the marking work done by his teammates, especially in the offensive sector and midfield.

— However, we also have to highlight the work of the rest of the team, because the attackers and midfielders press tirelessly throughout almost the entire game. This makes our job much easier, which is basically to stop the plays when the ball is no longer clean, because our attackers, I think, midfielders press a lot and give their all in this part. So, the credit goes to the whole team -, he concluded.

HOW LONG HAD DANILO NOT PLAYED?

Danilo had not played since July 21, when he suffered an injury to the back of his right thigh. Recovered, the defender entered at 22 minutes of the second half, replacing Léo Ortiz. At 47′, Bernabei crossed into the area, where the number 13 was marking, but failed to prevent Borré's finish, who scored Internacional's goal.

After the game, Danilo posted a message highlighting the importance of his return in a fundamental victory for the rest of the season. The defender stated that he is focused on regaining his best form as soon as possible and thanked especially the medical and physiotherapy team of Flamengo for their care and dedication during the recovery period.
