Goalkeeper Matheus Cunha, who was a starter in this Saturday’s match, was also very critical of the Maracanã pitch. The archer of Flamengo revealed that players’ feet and knees hurt when they pass.

– The lawn is very bad, very hard. Ayrton hits a throw-in, the ball bounces on the pitch and goes over the goal, so you can see how bad it is. When you’re going to throw, your supporting foot and knee hurt. This gets in the way, because the Flamengo It’s a team that likes to have the ball. You have to recalculate the pass, the control, everything. O Flamengo needs a good lawn.
