Flamengo player urges teammates: "We're building team spirit" | OneFootball

Flamengo won the first title of the season by defeating Minas

Flamengo showed no mercy to Minas last Saturday (04) and crushed their opponent 86 to 68, winning the Opening Tournament of the Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB). After the game, forward Gui Deodato commented on the victory.

— This tournament is always welcome. It’s unanimous among the players that we prefer to prepare by playing. I’m happy because we’re starting to build a team character, an identity. It’s always good to win, playing for Flamengo is just that: winning — said Gui Deodato.

— In this preseason, we spent very few days at home, close to our families, but the most important thing is to put Flamengo where it deserves to be: at the top. Knowing that there’s still a lot ahead, a lot to improve, we’re still not playing to our full potential — concluded the Flamengo player.

AND NOW, FLAMENGO?

Thus, after finishing fourth in the FIBA Intercontinental Cup last month, Flamengo continues its planning for the new season. With this, they claimed their first title by easily overcoming Minas in Brasília.

Now, Flamengo faces a long season ahead. The red-and-black team will compete in the NBB, the Basketball Champions League Americas, and the Super 8 Cup. However, it’s worth noting that participation in the last tournament still depends on qualification.
