Flamengo once again had a dominant performance , but was unable to translate the volume of play into goals against Vasco, in the goalless draw last Saturday (19), for the Brazilian Championship . After the classic, striker Michael commented on the criticism that the team has been receiving, especially in relation to the low effectiveness in finishing - something that was also noted against Internacional and Central Córdoba (ARG).
Before talking about the offensive performance, Michael praised the team's stance in the classic . For him, if Flamengo has to stumble, it will be by acting aggressively, putting pressure on the opponent.
It's complicated to talk from the outside. Inside, it's more difficult..."
“What we want most is that, if we are going to draw or lose a point, it will be like this: us on top of the opponent , attacking , creating goal chances ,” said the striker .
Michael acknowledged that the team needs to improve when it comes to finishing, but he noted that the external view does not always reflect what happens on the field. “Of course we have to correct some mistakes and be calmer when finishing, but it is difficult to talk about it from the outside. It is more difficult on the field, ” he said.
The number 30 himself was the target of criticism after wasting one of Flamengo's main chances in the match, when he was face to face with goalkeeper Léo Jardim , but finished poorly .
Michael also criticized Vasco 's stance , which, according to him, sought to hold on to the result by stalling and stopping the ball . “We had attitude, we looked for the goal the whole time. We played a great game. Their team spent most of the time inside the area, falling to the ground, trying to gain time with cramps ,” he commented.
Despite the frustration with the score, the striker highlighted the team's commitment and the effort shown during the 90 minutes. " We are not happy with the result because we wanted to win , but we are satisfied with the dedication and attitude of the entire team. I believe we are doing a great job ", he concluded.
With Michael in the group, Flamengo embarks this Sunday for Ecuador , where they face LDU this Tuesday (22), at 7 pm (Brasília time), at Rodrigo Paz Delgado Stadium , for the third round of the Libertadores group stage.
