“I take responsibility,” says Hugo, after a missed goal in Flamengo’s defeat against São Paulo | Flamengo

Check the fault in the video above.

In a ball outside the Flamengo team from the defense, Hugo received inside the small area, he went to try to dribble Brenner, but ended up disarmed by the attacker, who sent the ball to the back of the net.

When leaving the court, coach Rogério Ceni even asked if the 21-year-old wanted to go straight to the locker room without giving any statements, but the boy insisted on giving an interview and showed personality when he made the mistake:

– Soccer is every day. I was able to stand out as a highlight of the team in several games in a positive way. And today, sadly, I was wrong. Failure will occur. Everyone fails, everyone makes mistakes, everyone is a human being. But the important thing is to keep working so that next time I don’t make the same mistake, which can be fatal, as it was today, which can define a classification.

– But we will try to win in the next game, regardless of the failure, the error. I am a boy, I am new, but I am a man. We all make mistakes. I take responsibility for having made one mistake, but I am ready for the next one and I will do my best not to make any more mistakes and come out again as a positive highlight, as I did several times.
