Bruno Henrique: Not thinking about Palmeiras in the Brasileirão run-in | OneFootball

Flamengo moved closer to the Brazilian Championship title this Saturday by defeating Bragantino 3-0 at Maracanã in the 35th round. The Rubro-Negro benefited from Palmeiras' slip against Fluminense to open a four-point lead at the top of the national competition.

Scorer of one of the victory goals, the forward stated that the team must stay focused on their results and not think about Palmeiras, who are still in the race to overtake the team from Rio.

“We have to think about ourselves. We can't think from the outside in. We need to keep this momentum, and there are still three games left. The Brazilian Championship is tough, but we are on the right track,” said the player.

Bruno Henrique also praised the team's performance tonight.

“Very happy with the victory. We already deserved to come out with a win in the first half. Everyone helping each other. But we were lethal in the second half and converted the chances we created,” he said.

Flamengo could be crowned champions next Tuesday. For that to happen, the team from Rio needs to defeat Atlético-MG and hope for a Palmeiras loss to Grêmio.
