"It's normal, everyone reacted in their own way. Of the Brazilian teams, for me Flamengo is the one with the best investment, you have players teammates, acquaintances. It's always difficult to play against Flamengo. In the Club World Cup, I didn't enter, but my former club played against it. I know how difficult it is to play against Flamengo", said Bruno Sávio, in an interview with ESPN.< /p>
Bruno Sávio was playing for Al Ahly (EGI) when he saw Flamengo beat his former team 4-2, in the dispute third place in the Club World Cup. However, despite highlighting the difficulty in facing Rubro-Negro, the player stated that Mengo's path will not be easy either, recalling the times that Bolívar defeated strong opponents.
< "It's also very difficult to play against us, a well-trained team, we have our individual values too. Even last year Palmeiras came here and lost, Cerro Porteño (PAR), Barcelona (EQU) and Athletico-PR itself. I hope that this year we can prove again that we have quality", concluded Bruno Sávio.
Seeding Group E, Flamengo will face Millonarios (COL), Bolívar and Palestino (CHI) in the groups of the Libertadores. Thus, Rubro-Negro's debut in this edition of the main competition in South America will take place on April 2nd, in Colombia.
