Bruno Henrique reveals new mood at Flamengo, eyes post-World Cup

Flamengo returned to winning ways in the Brasileirão this Saturday (30)

Flamengo lived up to expectations and beat Coritiba 3-0 this Saturday (30), in the 18th round of the Brasileirão. A starter in the match, Bruno Henrique highlighted that the atmosphere after qualifying in the Libertadores made the difference for Mengão.

— This is the strength of our group. Even with ten absences, the players who took the field today are of the highest level. We knew it would be a very difficult match; Coritiba is in a good moment in the Brazilian Championship, sitting sixth -, he said, before concluding:

— We stepped onto the field to get the three points, and we did it. After the Libertadores match, when we qualified in first place, the atmosphere became much better, and that leads to better results on the field. Today we earned important points before these vacation days -, concluded Bruno Henrique.

What is the mindset for after the World Cup?

After the match, Bruno Henrique also commented on the break for the World Cup. The number 27 once again spoke about the intense run of matches, since the schedule will be ‘tight.’

Brazilian football is always intense. We’ve spent several years playing every three days, but we have a very qualified squad, and the mister is always able to rotate the teams, some matches in the league, others in the Libertadores. That shows the strength of the group. We keep building momentum, and the players who play less get into matches so they can gain rhythm. That is very important for Flamengo -, Bruno Henrique added.

How did the Flamengo vs. Coritiba match go?

Flamengo opened the scoring just ten minutes into the first half. On that occasion, Samuel Lino received a pass from Pedro and found the net for Mengão. In the second half, the number 16 returned the favor and assisted the striker’s goal in the 15th minute. Finally, the winger scored again in the 25th minute after chipping the Coritiba goalkeeper.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

After the win over Coritiba, the Flamengo squad will go on vacation due to the break in the calendar for the World Cup. Mengão’s next match in 2026 is scheduled for July 22, against Chapecoense, in the 19th round of the Brasileirão.
