Flamengo was defeated by Bahia 1-0 last Sunday (05), in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship. After the match, coach Rogério Ceni gave a word of encouragement to the players and poked at the red-black team.
— We have a more competitive team than theirs. Just be careful with each pass, each attack on space, and we can do it. Clear head, light body, to play and get the result —, said Rogério Ceni, in a behind-the-scenes video released shortly after the victory over Flamengo.
Flamengo had a player sent off in the first half, when Danilo received a straight red card. Before the break, Willian José scored 1-0 for Bahia. However, the situation for Mengo worsened when Wallace Yan also left the game early.
However, despite the defeat to Bahia, Flamengo continues to fight for the title of the Brazilian Championship. The team led by Filipe Luís has 55 points, the same as Palmeiras, but with one more game than the rival.
Bahia, even with the victory, remains in fifth place in the Brazilian Championship. The team led by Rogério Ceni has 43 points, the same as Botafogo and Mirassol. At the moment, the team would be qualifying for the pre-Libertadores of 2026.
