Bruno Henrique on Flamengo’s error v Internacional: “Jorginho said…” | OneFootball

Flamengo's goal scorer against Internacional, Bruno Henrique, sends a message to his teammates

Flamengo beat Internacional 1-0 on Wednesday (13), in the round of 16 of the Libertadores. Victory at Maracanã, advantage for the second leg, and everything's fine? Not exactly, at least for Bruno Henrique. The goal scorer of the match gave his diagnosis on why Mengo had a great first half, but fell off in the final stage.

— In the second half, in the first 15 minutes, we wanted to score the goal quickly and ended up deviating a bit from what we planned at halftime. We ended up being a bit exposed, and the opposing team marks a lot in the first half. In the second half, they have to open up to try to score the goal —, said Bruno Henrique.

— That's what happened with Internacional, they marked all the time in the first half, we had more possession, more shots, more depth. We took possession in the first half and in the second half wanting to score the second goal quickly, ends up opening a bit. It's a point we need to improve, Jorginho just told me that, so we need to look to improve more in the first 15 minutes of the second half —, he added.

HOW WAS THE GAME?

In the first half, Flamengo didn't let Internacional play, with 73% ball possession and eight shots on goal. However, in the final stage, Mengo got tired. Thus, the Rubro-Negro had 59% possession after the interval and only two shots, with four from the Gauchos.

WHEN IS THE RETURN MATCH?

With Flamengo one draw away from qualifying for the quarterfinals, the return match takes place next Wednesday (20), at Estádio Beira-Rio, in Porto Alegre. Before that, however, the teams meet again in the Brasileirão, on Sunday (17), also in the South, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time).
