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.
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.

Flamengo won a decisive victory at home against Bolívar, in the fifth round of the Libertadores da América, last Wednesday (15), beating 4-0 and retaking second place in the group.
Under Tite's command, the team demonstrated what was expected, with high marking throughout the match, preventing any space for the opponent. The highlights of the game were Gerson and Cebolinha, each contributing 1 goal and 1 assist.
After the game, Everton Cebolinha held a press conference to analyze the team's performance, highlighting the creation of opportunities and concentration demonstrated from the beginning of the game. He highlighted the spirit and concentration needed for the next challenges.
“Our team today, unlike games ago, we created a lot, more concentrated, we have tried to start the games with this momentum and turned the game into a easy. We hope to have the same spirit and concentration in the next games.”
The striker also praised the game model adopted by Tite at Flamengo, emphasizing the proximity between players and the exchange of passes, which facilitates the construction of plays. Cebolinha also highlighted the improvement in the team's last offensive third, highlighting the concentration and care in the last games.
“The characteristic of the front players provides the touch of the ball, the shorter game, and, therefore, This makes our game closer. We always have a teammate nearby to provide support,” he said.
With this convincing victory, Flamengo regains its position in the group and keeps its hope of advancing to the next stages of the Libertadores alive. The team remains focused and determined to achieve its goals in the continental competition.
Flamengo fears nine games without players for call-ups

The Flamengo initially got away with having players called up for the Brazilian team. However, we must closely monitor the development of the situation following an important decision taken by Conmebol. This is because the entity announced that it will allow 26 athletes per team to go, and no longer 23.
In other words, if he wishes, Dorival Jr can call up three more players for the competition, which should, actually come to fruition. Therefore, after not calling up any Flamengo athlete during the team's bad phase, the Brazilian team's coach can take advantage of the team's improvement to call up some more, or even some red-and-black players.
Despite not having players in the Brazilian team at first, Flamengo still feared a dismantling during the Copa América. The club has four Uruguayan players who are part of El Loco Bielsa's plans. The probability of losing Arrascaeta, De La Cruz, Matías Viña and Guillermo Varela is extremely high.
In addition, Chilean Erick Pulgar should also serve his national team. The increase from 23 to 26 called up also impacts these other options, since with three more places, there is a greater chance of Biela calling up the four Uruguayans, for example, just as Pulgar envisages yet another call-up.
CBF made a special request to Conmebol and expressed doubts about who to takeConmebol accepted a request exclusively made by CBF. Brazil asked the entity to extend the deadline to present these three new names until June 15th. This means that there is still no decision and there is doubt about which players to call up. This makes it even more dangerous for Flamengo, who could end up missing out.
The start of the Copa América takes place on June 20th and runs until July 14th. During this period, Mengão should have nine matches, which could increase to 11 or more due to the suspended matches of rounds 7 and 8 due to the situation in Rio Grande do Sul.

The expectation is that coach Tite will maintain the same lineup previously used by Flamengo, with: Rossi; Varela, Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Allan, De La Cruz and Lorran; Gerson, Everton Cebolinha and Pedro.
Bruno Henrique and Erick Pulgar are in the process of recovering from left ankle sprains. The Chilean player was not present in the last Libertadores match, in which Flamengo was defeated by Palestino, in Chile.
