Samuel Lino amazed by Flamengo fans, asks intriguing question | OneFootball

The forward debuted for Flamengo with a packed Maracanã

In his first press conference as a Flamengo player, Samuel Lino did not hide his amazement at the reception from the Red-Black Nation. Wearing the number 16 shirt, he made his debut in the 1-0 loss to Atlético-MG on Thursday (31), but what stood out most was the atmosphere created by more than 60,000 fans at Maracanã.

— The first contact with the fans was incredible. I even asked Alex Sandro if there’s always this kind of party with fireworks, because it was really impressive. The Nation is fantastic, they support us for all 90 minutes, and playing at Maracanã with this support makes it very hard for any opponent to beat us. Yesterday was a specific case of the match, but we were always looking for the equalizer and the win. This energy from the fans is fundamental for us, said the number 16.

How was Samuel Lino’s debut?

Samuel Lino came on at the 13th minute of the second half, replacing Matheus Gonçalves, and quickly became one of the most dangerous players for Flamengo. In addition to a goal disallowed for offside, the forward almost provided an assist for Emerson Royal, who hit the post in one of the team’s most dangerous plays.

When does Flamengo play again?

With Samuel Lino available, Flamengo ‘turns the page’ after the defeat and now focuses on the next fixture in the Brasileirão. This Sunday (03), Filipe Luís’s team faces Ceará at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Castelão, for the 18th round of the championship. As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match.
