Samuel Lino speaks out after boos during Flamengo v Ceará match

Flamengo opened the scoring with a goal by Samuel Lino in the 37th round of the Brazilian Championship

The forward Samuel Lino could become the unlikely hero of the Brasileirão title. The Flamengo player was even booed this Wednesday (03) by the fans at Maracanã, but he scored the goal against Ceará that, for now, makes the team champions.

Booed? Not at all, here it’s always about confidence, the boos just serve as fuel. You can keep booing, it won’t shake me at all. Today I was able to help Flamengo with a goal, which was important for Flamengo and for me. Now it’s time to listen to Filipe for the second half,” said Lino during halftime.

How did Lino score the goal?

The Ceará defense seemed solid, but Jorge Carrascal received the ball at the edge of the box, made a spectacular pass, and found Lino. The forward gave a classy little touch between the Ceará goalkeeper’s legs to make it 1-0 for Flamengo.

Is it the title-winning goal?

Since Flamengo only needs a win in this 37th round to clinch the Brasileirão, Lino may have scored the title-winning goal. However, Ceará can still react in the second half at Maracanã.

How is the Palmeiras match going?

The match between Palmeiras and Atlético-MG is of interest to Flamengo, since a Palmeiras defeat would help the Rubro-Negro even more. However, Abel Ferreira’s team is winning 2-0, which does not affect the Rubro-Negro’s title chances, as long as Ceará remains behind on the scoreboard.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

The Brasileirão wraps up for Flamengo in Mirassol in the 38th round. Thus, the teams face each other at Maião, in the interior of São Paulo, on Sunday (03) starting at 4pm (Brasília time).
