Danilo is one of the main leaders of the current Flamengo squad. With that in mind, the number 13 took the opportunity after Mengão’s win over Cusco (PER) and described the defeat to Palmeiras as an ‘atypical case.’ In addition, the defender made it clear that the Rubro-Negro is still chasing success in the Brasileirão and Libertadores.
It was important for us to respond right away, regardless of whether it was a different competition or not, it’s the same group, with our people, in the same stadium… We have to show that what happened the other day was an atypical case because of the match conditions. We are firm and strong on our path -, Danilo said in an interview after the game this Tuesday (26).
In the match against Palmeiras, Flamengo ended up suffering a setback right at the start with Carrascal being sent off. After that, the match took on a new shape, with the São Paulo side eventually winning 3-0 at the Maracanã. In that game, Danilo was not available, as he was serving an automatic suspension due to his third yellow card.
DID DANILO PLAY IN FLAMENGO VS CUSCO, IN THE LIBERTADORES?
In the very next match after the loss to Palmeiras, Danilo returned to the Flamengo starting lineup. With the number 13 on the field, Mengão beat Cusco 3-0, with two goals from Bruno Henrique and one from Paquetá. With that result, the Rubro-Negro has a chance to finish as the best group winner in the Libertadores group stage.
WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?
In Flamengo ’s next match of the season, Danilo will not be available, as he is on duty with the Brazil national team. Without the defender, Mengo faces Coritiba in a Brasileirão clash. Kickoff is at 4 pm (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover all the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media.
