Flamengo beat Fluminense last Monday (13), 3–2, coming from behind, and won the Campeonato Carioca in volleyball. Thus, after the match, setter Giovana commented on how the team managed to recover during the game.
— We came in with a game plan that didn’t work. We weren’t efficient at the start. And there, in that pressure moment, we looked at each other and asked: ‘Now what? What are we going to do?’ And we managed to find a path with the changes Bernardo made. Masa came into the game very well. She ended up being a safety outlet — said setter Giovana.
— The returns of Simone Lee and Karina also brought balance. Earlier, Helena and Mikaela contributed at important moments. In the end, we put a lot of energy on the court. That’s a team. Let’s go for it. Now it’s time to rest a bit and go all in for the Superliga — she concluded.
Thus, in the first set, Fluminense went ahead and won 25–17, taking the lead in the final. However, Flamengo soon tied it in the next set, 27–25. The Laranjeiras side went back in front in the third set, winning 25–18.
