Kaio Jorge speaks out before Flamengo v Cruzeiro: "Thursday is..." | OneFootball

What Did Kayo Jorge Say After Cruzeiro's Defeat to Vasco?

Cruzeiro lost to Vasco this Saturday (27), and with that, Flamengo has a chance to increase its lead over the Minas Gerais team. After the match at São Januário, Kaio Jorge lamented the negative result but already sent a message treating Thursday's (02) duel against the Rubro-Negro as a decision.

— We knew it would be a very difficult match, playing here is complicated. We started the game a bit off and conceded a goal, which made it difficult. When we got into the match in the second half, we conceded another, which made it even more difficult, he declared, before concluding:

— But now we don't have time to lament, the Brasileirão is very complicated. And on Thursday we will face Flamengo. So, Thursday Cruzeiro will have a decision -, concluded Kaio Jorge in an interview with ‘Amazon Prime’ after the game this Saturday (27).

WHAT IS CRUZEIRO'S SITUATION IN THE BRASILEIRÃO?

With the defeat to Vasco, Cruzeiro remained in second place, with 50 points. As a result, the gap to Flamengo could still widen if the Rubro-Negro defeats Corinthians on Sunday (28).

In this round, Cruzeiro could face a greater setback. This is because if Palmeiras defeats Bahia, it will take over the vice-leadership of the Brasileirão. Thus, the team from Belo Horizonte will have to ‘root against’ direct title contenders.
