EVERTON CEBOLINHA APPROVES FLAMENGO'S PERFORMANCE AND CELEBRATES VICTORY IN BRASILEIRÃO

Flamengo beat Corinthians last Saturday, 2-0, at Maracanã, and striker Everton Cebolinha valued not only the individual performance, but also the team's attitude as a whole. After three games without winning in the Brasileirão, Rubro-Negro managed to respond to fans' criticism. The number 11, in fact, highlighted the change in the team's stance.

"We talked daily to adjust some things. One of them was that we couldn't continue the way we were. No matter how much we wanted to in winning the games, we ended up falling short in some parts. Today (Saturday), it was very different," he said.

"We had intensity in the short game as well. We were a little spaced out. But I believe we adjusted well in the days we had to train", he pondered.

With an injury to his right calf, Everton Cebolinha was absent from Flamengo for five games. During the period, Rubro-Negro won only one victory. "I thought I would feel even more. I was out for a long time, but I've been working a lot. I think I responded positively in the physical part today. I was a little more tired than in the last game, but that's normal. Now it's time to rest," he said. .

The team led by Tite will have an important game next Wednesday (15), in the fifth round of the Libertadores group stage. Flamengo faces Bolívar, at Maracanã, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), and needs the victory to have greater peace of mind in the continental competition. "We know it's win or win", assured Cebolinha.

Right now, Rubro-Negro occupies third place in Group E, with four points. There are six disadvantages for leader Bolívar. In second place is Palestino, from Chile, with six in total.
