Flamengo has qualified for the quarterfinals of the Libertadores. However, there’s no time to celebrate, as the players are already back in Rio de Janeiro to focus on the next match. Thus, defender Danilo praised the club’s decision to return from Porto Alegre this Thursday (21), since he doesn’t believe the match against Vitória on Monday (25) will be easy.
— I think it’s very symbolic that we came straight here to Ninho do Urubu. To resume training, to reconnect with what is our environment here. Because the commitments ahead are certainly very important. And this one against Vitória is certainly a match that will demand concentration, effort, and maximum motivation from us, as it has been throughout the season — said Danilo in a video released by Flamengo.
The defender also highlighted the team’s performance last Wednesday (20), when they eliminated Internacional from the Libertadores at Beira-Rio. However, the number 13 points out that it’s not time to let their guard down and that the players will need to be in sync with the team for the upcoming challenges.
— This synergy with the fans has been important, whether away, but especially at Maracanã. I believe that Monday is another opportunity for both the team and the fans to show this unity, this synergy. And thus make it a great party. Another great match, so that we can work well and manage to win the game — added Danilo.
Defender Danilo’s Flamengo will take the field next Monday (25), against Vitória, at Maracanã, starting at 9pm (Brasília time), for the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship. Thus, Coluna do Fla brings you all the information before and after the match.
