— Congratulations to everyone on the win. We had six days of commitment from everyone, a lot of hard work. Everyone here was very important during these six days. This shows the strength of our group, and may we become more and more committed to doing what the Mister (Jardim) and the staff ask of us —, said the forward.

— I think that more and more, with every match that goes by, we show that no matter the stadium, at home or away, Flamengo plays the same way and goes after the result. I think that’s what has been making us a consistent and strong team —, added Léo Pereira.

WHAT DID LEONARDO JARDIM AND BRUNO HENRIQUE MEAN, AFTER ALL?
