Making his second match after almost a month injured, Cebolinha spoke in the mixed zone after Flamengo's victory over Corinthians this Saturday (11). Camisa 11 exposed an important group meeting after the defeat to Palestino. In his opinion, it was a preponderant factor in improving the red and black performance.
“We talk daily about adjusting some things and one of them was that it couldn't continue the way it was. As much as we wanted to win the games, we ended up falling short in some parts. From the front (attack) in finishing plays, today was very different, right? In the first half we could have gotten a much bigger lead. A lot of intensity, the short game that was missing in other games in which we were spaced out”, revealed the athlete.
Along with the conversation, punctual to make adjustments not only tactical, there was also a change in the posture on the field . By highlighting this, Cebolinha made a point of dividing responsibility between the athletes and reducing the pressure around Tite after a question made by Erick Viana, a reporter for the MRN portal.
“I believe that (the improvement) goes through a change of posture. At no point was there a lack of desire, but I say that not always when you run a lot, you run right. The other games lacked this (more associative game). These were negative results that ended up bringing distrust among the group, pressure, which is normal... But we have tried to adjust and today it was clear that we were a more compact team and built an excellent victory”, analyzed Cebolinha in the mixed zone.
< Camisa 11 played a regular game. After a good first half, he had a drop in performance during the final stage until he was replaced at 43′. His best moment was a shot in the 25th minute, which ended in a spectacular save from Carlos Miguel.
Cebolinha guarantees that Flamengo will be better against Bolívar
In addition to making an assessment consistent with the moment he had been experiencing, Cebolinha showed confidence that this Saturday's victory will be a “watershed”. In this sense, the athlete promised an even better level next Wednesday (15), against Bolívar, in the Libertadores: “A victory that gives us confidence (…) I believe we adjusted well and on Wednesday we will be even better”
Finally, the player gave the appropriate dimension of the confrontation, which will be at Maracanã, at 9:30 pm. In a complex situation in the group, Rubro-Negro can only think about winning. The players, therefore, seem to have understood the importance of the duel.
“We are aware that it is win or win, that we have to impose this rhythm from the beginning of the game and make the home advantage prevail. At home we are very strong and I believe Wednesday will be another one of those games”, concluded Cebolinha.

Estudiantes' Verón on Flamengo in the Libertadores: "Yes, the challenge is difficult"
"Obviously, we know the power of our opponent, but we also know that we've been through similar situations against important teams, and that the club, given its history, has risen to the occasion. We've always kept this in mind: yes, the challenge is difficult, but we can excel and represent the club well , regardless of the result. We've experienced this before, and we continue to do so," the director stated.
In the early 1990s, Verón began his career at Estudiantes and played in the 2-0 victory over Flamengo in the 1994 Supercopa Libertadores . In addition to his former club, the former midfielder also shone for major teams such as Boca Juniors, Lazio, Manchester United and Inter Milan . In 2007, he returned to Estudiantes and was a key player in their 2009 Copa Libertadores victory.
