Kaio Jorge sends message before Flamengo v Cruzeiro: "Thursday is..." | OneFootball

What Did Kayo Jorge Say After Cruzeiro's Defeat to Vasco?

Cruzeiro lost to Vasco this Saturday (27), and with that, Flamengo now has a chance to increase its lead over the team from Minas Gerais. After the match at São Januário, Kaio Jorge lamented the negative result, but already sent a message, treating Thursday’s (02) clash against Rubro-Negro as a decisive one.

— We knew it would be a very tough match, playing here is complicated. We started the game a bit disconnected and conceded a goal, which made things difficult. When we got into the game in the second half, we conceded another, which made it even harder — he said, before concluding:

— But now we don’t have time to dwell on it, the Brasileirão is very tough. And on Thursday we’ll face Flamengo. So, Thursday will be a decisive match for Cruzeiro — Kaio Jorge concluded in an interview with ‘Amazon Prime’ after Saturday’s game (27).

WHAT IS CRUZEIRO'S SITUATION IN THE BRASILEIRÃO?

With the defeat to Vasco, Cruzeiro remains in second place, with 50 points. As a result, the gap to Flamengo could increase if Rubro-Negro beats Corinthians on Sunday (28).

Still in this round, Cruzeiro could suffer a bigger setback. That’s because, if Palmeiras defeats Bahia, they will take over second place in the Brasileirão. Thus, the Belo Horizonte team will have to ‘root against’ their direct rivals for the title.
