We won with the face of Flamengo, we fought until the last second.” The phrase is from Doménec Torrent after the 2 to 1 victory, overturn, over Goiás, on Tuesday, in Maracanã.

But it was not easy against Lanterna Goiás, who went ahead in a well-armed counterattack. Script similar to previous matches in which Flamengo started badly and only reacted after suffering.
The lack of players like Rodrigo Caio, Isla, Everton Ribeiro, Arrascaeta and Gabigol was clear. Gerson, again, unfolded. Filipe Luís became point guard in the attack. Bruno Henrique worked hard and once again served Pedro well. In total, the team finished 31 times and finished with 67% possession of the ball.
But there were negative points, such as the fact that the attackers became very stagnant. The defense, especially on the right side, had difficulties. Michael had a poor individual performance. He missed almost every move he tried and wasted many attacks with wrong decisions. He had Dome kick a glass of water on the edge of the field, but then at the press conference the coach praised him.

With games in a less than reasonable time interval and the large number of absences, it is necessary to put all the factors on the scale and relativize. But Flamengo has shown that he also knows how to suffer and is passing the marathon test.
In second place with 30 points, the team will return to the field this Thursday, at 8:00 p.m., in Maracana, to face Bragantino.
