Bruno Henrique, one of the remnants of Flamengo's historic 2019 team, came on in the second half of the final against Nova Iguaçu, held this Sunday (7) at Maracanã, and scored the goal that guaranteed the title.

Right after the game, even before the awards ceremony, the striker highlighted the defensive solidity of the starters throughout the campaign. It is worth mentioning that the only goal conceded by the team was when the reserves were on the field, in a confrontation against Nova Iguaçu itself.

"We have a style of play, which is 'lose, press'. Where If the player is unarmed, wherever it is on the field, marking starts there. This makes it easier for defenders and helps us to create a strong marking rhythm in all games and this resulted in the State Championship", he celebrated.

BRUNO HENRIQUE CELEBRATES ANOTHER GOAL FOR FLAMENGO

Captain of Flamengo from the moment he entered the field, the striker, one of the most beloved in the squad, finally took the opportunity to praise the group's determination to become champions again after 2023, when the club lost all the competitions it played in.

"I'm happy with the title for the goal, but what's important is the team. Since January 8th, when we introduced ourselves, Tite said to focus on what was ahead. In short, the first one was the carioca and Thank God we managed to arrive. We won with great spectacle, not losing a game and without conceding a goal. Congratulations to the entire group", he concluded.

In a press conference at Ninho do Urubu, goalkeeper Agustín Rossi spoke about his desire to be called up to the Argentina national team , the current world champion. Despite his dream, the goalkeeper made it clear that his priority remains Flamengo.

Rossi on his dream of joining the Argentine national team: "My job is for Flamengo"

"Obviously, I've always wanted to be called up. I think Brazilian football is very strong, not only in South America, but worldwide as well. In the last call-up, there were players from here. But I'm not thinking about that right now . I think that if I do my job well, that call-up could come," Rossi stated.

TOTAL FOCUS ON FLAMENGO

The Argentine stressed that he keeps his feet on the ground and that his main goal is to continue showing consistency for the Rubro-Negro , who have the best defense in the Brasileirão, conceding only 10 goals in 22 games. At Maracanã, the Mais Querido conceded only three goals.

"I'm in no rush, because my job is for Flamengo , day to day, game to game. My biggest focus is to maintain this streak so that the call-up can come. Of course I have that desire, but I don't treat it as a requirement . I'm Flamengo's goalkeeper, I'm responsible for Flamengo. If the call-up comes, I'll welcome it," he added.

INCOME AND TITLES WITH THE MANTLE

Since joining Flamengo in 2023, Rossi has already won four titles. Last season, he was a key player in the undefeated Carioca Championship and also played in the Copa do Brasil victory. In 2025, he maintained his starting spot in the Supercopa do Brasil and the Campeonato Estadual . In total, he has represented Flamengo in 125 official matches, establishing himself as a pillar of the team.
