The victory was gigantic. Botafogo, the clear leader of the Brazilian Championship, after 21 rounds, had a 100% record playing in their stadium – something spectacular and absolutely unprecedented in the history of our football. Such data is enough to dimension the importance of Flamengo’s triumph, obtained in the midst of a gigantic crisis in the red-black that, in case of defeat, could lead to the dismissal of coach Jorge Sampaoli.
Bruno Henrique saved his skin. With a superb individual performance, the best player on the field was shot, painted and embroidered and scored a great goal by coverage, in the great archer of Alvinegro Lucas Perri, guaranteeing a victory that can return the grace to the championship, in case Glorioso suffers new stumbles in the next rounds – and the surprising emotional imbalance of coach Bruno Lage, who made the position available after the defeat, brings a worrying uncertainty for the leader of the championship.
Not everything, however, was flowers in Flamengo. If Bruno Henrique’s individual performance made the difference, in collective terms, Sampaoli’s team continues to be in chaos. Minimized on Saturday night, at Nílton Santos, due to the redoubled willingness of its players, despite the lack of a tactical system that helps them in the course of the games.
