Varela points out Flamengo’s luck in draw with Internacional | OneFootball

Right-back came on in the second half after intense criticism from fans directed at Emerson Royal

The boos this Wednesday (04) at Maracanã reveal Flamengo fans dissatisfied with Flamengo. Guillermo Varela, however, assures that the players are also upset with the current situation after the 1-1 draw with Internacional in the second round of the Brasileirão.

— It's difficult, because [there were] three defeats and today, another could have come. Luckily, we managed to score a goal and created chances to win the game, but of course the start of the season is not what everyone wanted. We are the first to demand more from ourselves, and the fans have every right. We will work hard to get back to what we were a month ago," said the right-back.

What is Flamengo's current situation?

As Varela said, the Most Beloved is having a poor start to the year. In fact, it is the team's worst start to a season, equaling 2002. In both periods, there are eight games, two draws, five defeats, and one victory.

How did Flamengo and Internacional draw?

This Wednesday (04), Fla had a lackluster first half. As a result, the visitors scored with Borré. In the second half, however, Varela came on for Emerson Royal, won a penalty, and Arrascaeta converted to level the score.

What is Flamengo's next match?

With a string of poor results, the Most Beloved needs to beat Sampaio Corrêa this Saturday (07). That's because any other result will see Fla play in the relegation quadrangular of the Campeonato Carioca.
