Bruno Henrique on Flamengo’s error v Internacional: “Jorginho said…” | OneFootball

Author of Flamengo's goal against Internacional, Bruno Henrique sends message to teammates

Flamengo won against Internacional by 1-0, on Wednesday (13), in the round of 16 of the Libertadores. Victory at Maracanã, advantage for the second game and everything is okay? Not quite, at least for Bruno Henrique. The author of the game's goal gave his diagnosis on why Mengo had a great first half, but declined in the final stage.

— We, in the second half, in the first 15 minutes, we want to score the goal right away and end up getting a little out of what we planned during the interval. We end up getting a bit exposed, and the opposing team marks a lot in the first half. In the second half, they have to open up to try to score —, said Bruno Henrique.

— This is what happened with Internacional, they marked the whole time in the first half, we had more possession, more shots, more depth ball. We took possession in the first half and in the second half, because we wanted to score the second goal right away, it ends up opening up a bit. It's a point that we need to improve, Jorginho just told me that, so we need to try to improve more in the first 15 minutes of the second half —, he added.

HOW WAS THE GAME?

In the first half, Flamengo did not let Internacional play, with 73% possession of the ball and eight shots on goal. However, in the final stage, Mengo got tired. Thus, the Rubro-Negro had 59% possession after the interval and only two shots, while the gaúchos had four.

WHEN WILL THE RETURN GAME BE?

With Flamengo one draw away from qualifying for the quarterfinals, the return game takes place next Wednesday (20), at the Beira-Rio Stadium, in Porto Alegre. Before that, however, the teams meet again in the Brasileirão, on Sunday (17), also in the South, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time).
