Not even Flamengo’s 2-1 victory in the classic against Botafogo this Saturday (2), away from home, seems to give Jorge Sampaoli peace of mind. Despite the internal and external pressure, the Argentine coach was objective and gave his message in the press conference after the match.
“I have a lot of time in my career, so I work every game to improve the team that was totally damaged when we arrived and we’re trying to recover. More than the win, therefore, I’m clear who I am and what I’m looking for.” I can make it or not,” she started.
The duel at the Estádio Nilton Santos was marked by a great performance from Bruno Henrique, who made a beautiful move and scored the winning goal. In addition, the Rubro-Negro broke the invincibility of the leader of the Brazilian championship in his domains.
Sampaoli evaluates the attacking duo
The captain commented on the attacking duo between Bruno Henrique and Pedro in Saturday’s match.
“We had good relations. The first half, after all, was very positive for the team. Unfortunately, in a sporadic action, Botafogo scored a goal. But Flamengo’s first half was the best I’ve seen in the tournament They are two very good players, Pedro’s descents and Bruno’s comebacks, therefore, made the Botafogo defense uncomfortable” he said, before explaining the absence of Gabigol, who was on the bench in this match:
“He’s fine, now he has to fight for a place. He’s an idol, he’s always decisive in the finals. This preparation is good because of the internal competition. May the competition tell us who to choose against Atletico and then against San Paolo” .
Sampaoli also answered whether Flamengo has chances to fight for the Brasileirão title.
“The distance is long, but we will try to always give the same importance to each game. Every Flamengo defeat causes many things. To avoid movements and operations against the team we must win,” he concluded.
