Since arriving at Flamengo in 2019, Bruno Henrique has worked with several different coaches. Currently, the forward plays under the command of Portuguese manager Leonardo Jardim and believes that European coaches impose an intense pace and high level of demand in Brazilian football.
— Look, I think that football is not just, how can I put it, about pressure, right? Football also has its moments of joy. Moments of frustration too. So football has to be, I think, a little more, how can I say, not necessarily calmer –, he began, in an interview with the ‘Barbacast’ Podcast this Thursday (12).
— Like, football is… There are many things that people don’t know behind the scenes of football. Of course. Because, and I see this as a trigger. So, for me, having a European coach in Brazilian football, of course the way they work, the intensity, the demands are very high – he continued.
However, Bruno Henrique pointed out that, despite the intensity of European coaches, Brazilian coaches also push and demand just as much. Finally, the forward emphasized that he likes to learn regardless of the manager’s style.
— The Brazilian coach is the same thing, the same thing. And sometimes people can’t see that So, for me, I’m someone who really likes to learn, whether it’s from a foreign or Brazilian coach. I like to learn. So, yeah, that’s my answer, you know? That I like to learn, regardless of the coach we have on the squad –, concluded Bruno Henrique.
After the departure of Brazilian Filipe Luís, Flamengo handed the reins to Portuguese coach Leonardo Jardim. However, since the arrival of the new coach, Bruno Henrique has not yet taken the field in the last three matches, as he is recovering from pubalgia.
