The Rio team beat Bahia, 1-0, in Fonte Nova and took the lead in the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil
Flamengo beat Bahia 1-0 at Fonte Nova, with a goal from Bruno Henrique, to take the lead in the first match of the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil. The return match will be at Maracanã, next week.
Thus, in a press conference, Flamengo coach Tite praised the positive result and analyzed the winning goal scored by striker Bruno Henrique in the final phase.
“Today’s match has a lot to talk about. The happiness for the team’s performance, the decisions we have to make in sequence, the contributions of the athletes… Also today, the need for Igor (Jesus), who was not used, started well. After a while, he injured an athlete and we were left with 10 men, the substitute, BH (Bruno Henrique) with 9… There are many interesting things there,” said Tite.
Tite talks about Flamengo’s injuries
Flamengo, however, continued to suffer with players complaining of pain and possible injuries. Among them, De La Cruz, Michael and Bruno Henrique. Tite finished talking about the subject.
“Maybe we don’t have enough time to talk about how much this affects the athlete. And how much work it takes to make decisions without putting the athlete and his health at risk. It happens inevitably and it hurts. We needed Michael because you don’t have another and he played the whole game there (against Bragantino). He shouldn’t have played the whole game. He arrived with good will and was decisive and then you lose him, it’s possible, but it’s tough,” summed up the Flamengo coach.
