There are 19 games without losing in Rubro-Negro, Dorival vibrated with another final of Flamengo, which is in the Libertadores decision. He mentioned the match which was very important for him in this trajectory.
–
– I think we had imagined improving the team as a whole, but we didn’t expect everything to happen so quickly. It was a difficult, complicated situation, there was instability in every way. By participating in the locker room there was also a desire to end it and the phase to pass – said Dorival, before citing the match that scored him.

Best moments: Flamengo 1 x 0 San Paolo, for the semi-final of the Copa do Brasil 2022
– –
– A notable match was in the Copa do Brasil in Belo Horizonte, against Atlético-MG. We lost there, maybe it was the last time we lost by conceding two goals, but from then on I think we only conceded 10 goals in 24 games. That game he scored because he showed growth possibilities for the team. But with defeat it is natural that everything goes out. That game was a watershed – commented the coach.
–
Dorival said he felt the team’s evolution from that match to the Copa do Brasil round of 16 – on the way back, the Flamengo he won by 2 to 0 and passed the stage. The coach also mentioned the expressive 7-1 win over Tolima, in Libertadores, but stressed that confidence began to return to his team following the win against Galo.
–
– Gradually, we feel the evolution not only with the team on weekends, but also on weekends. We seek stability, which has been achieved. We played in safety, with balance, as it was today against San Paolo when we played mature. The San Paolo requested a lot, but we had a very positive behavior, with everyone participating a lot. There are times when the team often attacks, there are times when you have to be able to suffer a little and know how to work the ball. The numbers are important, but the possibility of reaching two finals, a fact that few believed, has to do with everyone’s work, dedication and commitment. All this has made evolution maturity, trust and confidence have made us play great games and with great confidence – said the coach of Flamengo.

or Flamengo returns to the field on Sunday, always, at Maracanã, to face Fluminense for the Brazilian championship. The match for the 27th round is scheduled for 16:00.

Consistent play and Gabigol
–
– That was all we were looking for. The constancy and maturity of the team, which had already shown itself at another time, in other situations. You have to be very sure that when you need to propose, you know the ways. When you also have the need and the obligation to be a supportive team, defend yourself, that knows how to position yourself, that has differentiated deliveries, you must also have it palpable among the players. I think what sums it all up was the attitude we had from the beginning and the participation of a player like Gabriel, for example.
–
– I would like to remember the participation he had, which he had, perhaps even escaping a little from its main characteristics, but being very participatory, an active guy, a player who was very dedicated. And that he surrenders in every way on the pitch. With this he does, at 43 ‘of the second half, almost an 80-meter shot leaves the area, catching a ball almost in midfield. This is remarkable, representative, I hope we do not lose this essence. There will be times when we need all the quality again. Today I believe that we have combined confidence in attack, good mobility and movement in the moments when we had the game inside and the main thing was the effective marking of all the players in the defensive sense, which today for me was the strongest sign of that meeting.

Free week after Fla-Flu
–
– We can’t get past the point. This is an important factor. We will have the first week, or 10 days, of player activity. But let’s not forget that in our group we will not have six athletes, all called up and performing for their teams. We have to be very careful. We will not take advantage of this period to protect ourselves, we must speed up the process in a natural way, paying close attention to the volume of work that we are going to insert now. We are halfway through the end of the season, after this stop we will have games of the highest level. We will certainly give the Brazilian even more attention, but not that it has not been given so far.
–
– We are making all possible results, giving all the attention to always have the best team on the field. This was very important, now we have to rethink round after round, taking the necessary position in these 10 days. Intensify with those who need it, but don’t forget to add some volume and be aware that we cannot exceed the quantification of this work in any way. I think this will be important. And we prepare this team immediately after this stop for a very difficult match against Fortaleza, there in Fortaleza.
–
Repeat team against Fluminense?
–
– We’ll think about it starting tomorrow. It could happen. I think we will have a game where we can take an important step as long as we get a great result. It is also a defining moment for the Brazilian. I would like everyone to understand: the Brazilian, unlike the other competitions in which we find ourselves, did not depend solely and exclusively on Flamengo. We had opponents who had a significant difference in points and we had scored important points with a team that for many would not have been the starting line-up of the Flamengo, but it was the team responsible for the reclassification within the competition. We cannot forget that.
–
– I think we’re thinking about every possible situation. I just want to be vigilant. The team is hostage to its results. We could have a race that will end in the first half of the year, so that we can close it close to the Brazilian. It wouldn’t cause much of a problem. Flamengo is the only team that is fighting for the three races, recognizing that the gap from the first place is considerable and is high. But he was the only one we fought on three fronts, we had to be aware and have our feet on the ground so that a situation like today or that of Velez did not escape us. The result is defined only in the field.

– No team, regardless of the result abroad, would fail to appear in the decision, playing as a sniper, managing to achieve, for example, the result we achieved in Argentina. We must always be careful. For me it was important decisions, supported by our board, to talk about the details with everyone so as not to take unnecessary actions and this was contrary to the wishes of our club. Everything was done with awareness, tranquility and balance.
–
– If in the last two draws we have not been happy, as we have been, and the positions have increased slightly, I just want to remember that Ceará are a team that have had few defeats. Goiás drew with Palmeiras, beat Santos, drew with San Paolo, with Flamengo, has a great campaign in the second round. It’s not just any team, we didn’t get the result, but we tried. This same team was getting great results, but suddenly these results pushed us away a bit, but we are still alive in the competition and we will continue with all possible strength in the search for results.
–
– Living a moment like this, I’m honest, I don’t think (I figured I had this cast.) I’ve always trusted this group a lot. I’ve always had the opportunity to follow you Flamengo on the very positive side. Because it has always been a pleasure to see the players act, for their skills and qualities. The vast majority already knew, this helped a lot. Our decisions were all followed by a working group. “Dorival’s arrival changed the Flamengo“No, it helped change the behavior of the group.
–
– But the main thing is that all the professionals around have donated even more in every aspect, in every way. I am happy to participate, having a moment like this with the Flamengo. I had it in mind that I would be back Flamengo and what good things would happen. I didn’t imagine it was this year, for the time I was stopped. I have been for almost two and a half years, three years without work in the last four years, out of necessity, but it is a pleasure to come back and see this team again for how it is producing and for the results it has generated. It is a reflection of excellent delivery and very serious work within the football club Flamengo.
–
– I remember that Santos team, we trained a lot. There were two periods of work at that time. It was a very collective team, perhaps one of the most collective I’ve ever seen play in my life, this 2010 Santos. Flamengo has many of these characteristics, which that team also had. Maybe some differentials that are the compression itself were slightly different. That Santos team attacked in speed, it wasn’t a counterattack.
–
– OR Flamengo attacks, but at the same time with the loss of a ball is too close, too compact to resume in sequence. Perhaps this is the difference between one team and another. Santos had those moments too, but because he was attacking with a lot of speed, our line was still coming out from behind. or Flamengo attack a lot more from the wall, but they are two beautiful teams to watch, which in many ways represent the real football played in Brazil.
