Flamengo lost 1-0 to Atlético-MG last Thursday (31), but Maracanã almost witnessed Samuel Lino's first goal with the red and black shirt. That's because the striker was in an irregular position when he finished the play. Therefore, the number 16 admitted the anxiety he feels to score his first goal for the club.
— I'm anxious, I hope this moment happens and it's not disallowed. The atmosphere is incredible, a packed Maracanã, an important game. It could have been a perfect debut, which would have been the winning goal, but I'm very happy with my debut, I hope to continue and keep working -, Lino pointed out.
Samuel Lino came on in the 13th minute of the second half in place of Matheus Gonçalves and quickly became one of the most dangerous players for Flamengo. In addition to the disallowed goal, the striker almost gave an assist to Emerson Royal, who hit the post in one of the team's most dangerous plays.
With Samuel Lino available, Flamengo 'turns the page' after the defeat and focuses on the next commitment of the Brazilian Championship. This Sunday (03), Filipe Luís' team faces Ceará, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Castelão, for the 18th round of the championship. Thus, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match.
After the game against Ceará, Flamengo travels to Belo Horizonte with the intention of reversing the 1-0 score at Arena MRV. Therefore, the return match of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil takes place on Wednesday (6). At the stadium, the Red and Black became champions of the 2024 tournament precisely over Atlético-MG.
