What They're Saying
Flamengo manager Cristovao Borges (via Goal): "It's the third game [of my tenure]. We've been playing at a good level. We have swings. We played against a great opponent [Internacional]. They would also throw everything against us. We drew the strategy well, we executed well and we're very happy."
Corinthians manager Tite (via ESPN): "[Our attack] has to be more effective, make more goals, be more vertical. We were able to open these possibilities. Maybe 4-2, 3-2, 2-1. I see a fair victory, but with the opponent's goals."
