Luiz Araújo heaps praise on Flamengo squad after win over Corinthians | OneFootball

Flamengo came from behind to beat Corinthians, this Sunday, at Neo Química Arena, by 2 to 1. The result made the red-blacks extend their lead in the Brazilian Championship. The winning goal was scored by Luiz Araújo, who praised the squad for the good season.

"The secret is the group. It's very qualified, with great players. It doesn't matter who starts and who comes off the bench. Whoever is on the field will get the job done. We came from a big wear and tear from the Libertadores games. We have to keep adding three points. If we continue here, we will achieve our goals," said the forward to Record.

Luiz Araújo highlighted the team's increased performance, especially in the second half. "We knew how to suffer in the first half, but we managed to impose our rhythm afterwards to seek the goals and come out with the victory".

The result was terrible for Corinthians, who suffered their second consecutive defeat in the Brasileirão and remained in 12th place, with the same 29 points as at the start of the round. Timão is seven points ahead of Juventude, who opens the relegation zone.

Flamengo, with Luiz Araújo, faces Cruzeiro in the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match will be held on Thursday, October 2, at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã Stadium, in Rio de Janeiro (RJ).
