After Losing the Lead in the Brasileirão, How Does Danilo View Flamengo’s Downturn and the Need for a Reaction?

Danilo had a night to forget last Sunday (05), during Flamengo’s 1-0 defeat to Bahia in the Brasileirão. Sent off early in the match, the defender commented on the team’s current inconsistency and called for a reaction.

The bad phase is already reflected in the standings. Flamengo has suffered two defeats, two draws, and only one win in their last five games. With the slip-up against Bahia, the team lost the lead in the Brasileirão.

— It’s important to say that we’re fighting with opponents who are also used to being in this point-by-point battle throughout the year. Obviously, we didn’t want to be going through this period of inconsistency, but we are fully aware of what we can deliver on the field and maybe adjust to what’s coming ahead, he said, before continuing:

— Now we have the break for the FIFA Date to work, dedicate ourselves, and give our best. I, personally, put myself in this situation because I have to be one of those who pull towards the positive side, towards hope, towards optimism, he stated.

Even with the adverse scenario, Danilo tried to show leadership. The defender wants to face this tough moment head-on and is aiming for a return to good performances in the upcoming rounds of the Brasileirão.

— Now we’re there, we’re fighting, we’re up front along with the other teams and we have to go to improve, get back to those more balanced performances we had, and thus win matches, he concluded.

HOW WAS THE FLAMENGO VS BAHIA MATCH?

Danilo received a red card early in the match after a high-footed challenge towards the face of a Bahia player. Referee Rodrigo José Pereira de Lima deemed the action worthy of a straight sending-off.

With one man down from the start, Flamengo struggled to impose themselves. At the end of the first half, Willian José scored the winning goal for Bahia. In the second half, Wallace Yan was also sent off.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

The next fixture for Flamengo will be on October 15, against Botafogo. Kick-off is at 7:30 PM (Brasília time), at Estádio Nilton Santos, for the 28th round of the Brasileirão. Coluna do Fla TV will bring all the details of the classic on the website, social media, and YouTube.
