— On the other side there is a great team that is doing very well in the league, that is leading the league, that has players and, technically speaking, the best squad in Brazil. I’m not here to justify a defeat, but losing 2-1 to Flamengo at the Maracanã is not something that can be called a tragedy — he said, before concluding:

— I think it’s a normal result. I think a draw would have been a reward given what the game was like, because, in reality, Flamengo deserved the win for everything they did over the 90 minutes — concluded the Bragantino coach.

Saúl does not rule out leaving Flamengo at the end of the year and vents: “When I don’t play, I’m expensive. When I do play, I’m not good”

It is no secret that Saúl is not happy at Flamengo. With few opportunities, the Spaniard is considering leaving the club at the end of the season. While the year is not over, the number 8 wants to show that he can be useful to coach Leonardo Jardim. This Sunday (20), after playing all 90 minutes against Bragantino, the midfielder vented and did not hold back his words.

Flamengo become the 1st team in Brazil to reach 100 goals in 2026
