Flamengo experienced two very different halves in their 2-1 victory over Corinthians in the Brasileirão. In light of this, Emerson Royal revealed what Filipe Luís asked of the players during halftime of Sunday’s match (28th) at Neo Química Arena.

— In the first half, we couldn’t get our game going, neither with the ball nor in marking. Because of that, Filipe Luís told us we had to be Flamengo, which is an aggressive team without the ball, and with the ball, tries to play —, he emphasized, before concluding:

— That’s what we did in the second half. We had difficulties in the first, but the second half was completely different. We imposed our game. We conceded an early goal, but we had the maturity to turn the game around —, concluded Emerson Royal.
