What’s the mood at Flamengo after defeat to Bragantino? | OneFootball

The mood was one of criticism and downcast players

Flamengo suffered its first defeat under Leonardo Jardim last Thursday (02). On that occasion, Fla lost in the ninth round of the Brasileirão, 3-0 to Red Bull Bragantino. After the match, what was the atmosphere like in the locker room and behind the scenes at Fla?

In short, the leaders of the Flamengo squad raised their voices and were the most demanding. Names like Danilo and Jorginho, for example, described the team’s overall attitude as unacceptable. In addition, the team left the stadium in silence, with the players looking downcast.

What did Danilo say?

Publicly, Danilo showed his outrage at Flamengo’s performance: “It’s shameful! What we did on the pitch, truly, is something that cannot happen while wearing the Flamengo shirt […] As I’ve said a few times, each person has to take responsibility in the locker room and outside it as well,” he said.

Did anyone else speak out?

Yes! Rossi was one of those who commented on Flamengo’s performance against Bragantino: “Obviously, the mood is always bad when you lose, especially because of the way the game went. But I think we have to look at ourselves and, calmly, try to sort out the lapses and the problems that happened to us.”

And Jorginho?

“The way we lost, it can’t happen. There are ways to lose. We don’t deserve this for how hard we work, for how dedicated we are. The fans don’t deserve this, Flamengo doesn’t deserve this,” said Jorginho.

What now?

With no time to dwell on or process the defeat, Flamengo is already back in action on Sunday (05), when it faces Santos. The teams meet at 5:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, for the tenth round of the Brasileirão.
