Last Sunday (21), Rubro-Negro beat Corinthians 1-0 at Maracanã, in the seventh round of the national championship. In the post-game press conference, Thiago Maia praised the intensity of the Argentine coach's training.


— I think the intensity today is very different to the beginning of the year (when Vítor Pereira was still the coach). We know that Sampaoli will always ask us for this. It's because you don't see our training. Our training is crazy. He's a guy who's always shouting at us not to lower the level -, said Thiago Maia.


After a sequence of three consecutive defeats, Flamengo returned to win in the Brasileirão and thus rose in the championship rankings to 6th place. Widely used by the Argentine coach, the midfielder celebrated his return to victory and revealed a frequent request from the red and black coach.


— The key is turning. This is our team. Regardless of the fact that we're not doing so well technically, that we don't have much of a chance, we have to run, we have to try, we have to win the first and second ball. That's what he asks of us most -, added the player.

With the presence of Thiago Maia, Jorge Sampaoli's team returns to the field next Wednesday- fair (24). In Chile, Flamengo faces Ñublense (CHI), in the fourth round of the continental tournament. The match starts at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at the Concepción Municipal Stadium. The game will be broadcast on Rede Globo on an open channel and on Paramount, via streaming.
