Technician sees Del Valle far superior to Flamengo collectively: “As a team, we are much better” | international soccer

– We, as a team, personally have no doubt that we are much better – he said at a press conference after the duel.

The Asturian tried to differentiate Flamengo, who defeated him 3-0 in the final of the Recopa in February, and last Thursday, when he did not know his rival.

For him, the cariocas currently only stand out individually, since the positioning of the Domènec Torrent team is quite different from that presented during the administration of Jorge Jesús.

– Flamengo has different defensive behaviors and offensively I think they respect their positions a little more, they are positional. Flamengo da Recopa had quite different offensive behaviors in relation to positioning, so it may be that today they are a little easier to defend, being what they are, having the hierarchy they have, in individual actions they rotate, they win in space, they are very good, but individually.

Ramírez’s analysis, however, did not reveal any kind of pride. The coach praised Flamengo, whom he treated as the best team in America, and spoke of a “magical” and “historic” night.

– Night in history. We beat the best team in America, who missed Liverpool just a little. I am very moved. We will remember this forever. A lot of happiness. I think on nights like this you become a player, you become a coach.
