The forward Samuel Lino broke the ‘curse’ and scored one of Flamengo’s goals in the draw against São Paulo at Vila Belmiro. After the match, the player made a point of talking about his achievement, but also recalled the ‘scare’ he had with the criticism he received at the start of his time at the club.
— For those of us coming from Europe, it was a huge shock for me. When I saw people talking about my moment, about going some time without scoring in other places, but here in Brazil there’s so much information. Flamengo is gigantic in the media, so people immediately start attacking, wanting you to score every game –, he said, before concluding:
— But I told a friend the other day that I’m really calm and getting used to it. That’s how Brazilians are, they want to win and that’s fine. I’m going to keep working and I know that everything is a process and everything will get even better –, concluded Samuel Lino to ‘GE TV’.
Samuel Lino arrived as the most expensive signing in the history of Flamengo. Because of this, all the spotlight was on the forward. At first, the player started off with good performances, however, he later became inconsistent.
In the last two matches, however, Samuel Lino took advantage of the opportunity and was directly involved in Flamengo’s goals. Against Sport, it was the forward who assisted Bruno Henrique to score, while this Wednesday (05), he scored the second goal for the Rubro-Negro against São Paulo.
With Samuel Lino available, Flamengo faces Santos on Sunday (09), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV will show the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media.
