Marinho ‘celebrates’ after Flamengo game, sends message to Vitória fans | OneFootball

What did Marinho, Vitória’s forward, say about the match against Flamengo?

Flamengo managed to take the lead in the clash with Vitória in the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil, beating their rival 2-1. However, even after the setback, the Salvador-based club was satisfied with the result at the Maracanã. In a post-match interview on Wednesday (22), Marinho highlighted the importance of the scoreline and sent a message to the Barradão fans.

— It’s always good to play at the Maracanã again and know that we’re going back to Salvador alive, with the chance to decide it at home. I hope we can prepare well for the return leg and, together with the fans, put in a great performance and maybe come away with qualification —, Marinho said in a post-match interview.

It is important to point out that Marinho was not the only one celebrating the result at the Maracanã. Vitória head coach Jair Ventura also stressed that, with the minimal difference on the scoreboard, the team still has every chance of securing qualification for the round of 16.
