"Sometimes the result is not exactly what the teams aim for. In terms of commitment, of the quality we have to show, that's what the players did. We won four points against Flamengo, hardly any other team in our league will win four points against Flamengo", said the ex Sporting coach.

Leonardo Jardim revealed that the coaching staff is satisfied, but assured he gave a warning to the Cruzeiro squad: "I told the players at the end of the match: 'this point will only count if next Sunday against Sport we have the ability to make three points'".

It's worth noting, Cruzeiro continues a great campaign in the Brasileirão, being in the third position of the championship table, with 51 points in 26 matches. Flamengo is the leader (55) and Palmeiras, coached by Abel Ferreira, is second, with 52 points.
