Cruzeiro keeper Cássio downplays tension v Flamengo: "Just a match" | OneFootball

Flamengo and Cruzeiro face off next Thursday (02), for the Brasileirão

After the defeat to Vasco this Saturday (27), goalkeeper Cássio naturally addressed the next commitment of Cruzeiro, against Flamengo, leader of the Brazilian Championship. Even in a direct confrontation for the top of the table, the player avoided a decision-making atmosphere.

— With all due respect, it will be a great game, but it will be a game that is worth three points, as it was today and will be after Flamengo. We have to go with this intention -, he said, in an interview given in the mixed zone of São Januário.

Cruzeiro has 50 points and occupies the second position. Flamengo, on the other hand, leads with 51 and still enters the field this Sunday (28), against Corinthians, at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), at Neo Química Arena.

IS IT A FINAL ATMOSPHERE?

Cássio warned of the importance of maintaining performance throughout the rounds, regardless of the opponent. “It's no use for us to win the game and, in the next match, not go in search of the three points”, declared the goalkeeper.

Flamengo still has one less game, referring to the postponed match of the first round against Sport. Thus, the red-black team can open an advantage in the lead, depending on the results of the next rounds.
