Bruno Henrique escolheu as redes sociais para falar, nesta sexta-feira (23), depois da eliminação do Flamengo na semifinal da Libertadores. O atacante de 35 anos afirmou nunca ter vivido frustração parecida desde que chegou ao clube — e havia motivo direto: sua cobrança foi defendida na disputa que terminou 3 a 2 para o Estudiantes, na noite anterior, no Maracanã.

O peso aumenta pelo contexto. O time carioca entrou em campo como atual campeão e com a expectativa de buscar o quinto título da competição, mas parou nos argentinos depois de dois empates sem gols.

Na mensagem, o camisa 27 relembrou as conquistas e os desafios desde 2019 e classificou o momento como sofrimento. “É difícil encontrar palavras nesse momento quando a dor é tão grande e a frustração toma conta”, escreveu.

O jogador também refletiu sobre a relação entre esforço e resultado, dizendo que dedicação nem sempre leva ao que se deseja, e reforçou que o vínculo com o clube segue intacto, com confiança na recuperação do grupo.

Na análise do jogo, sobrou autocrítica coletiva: faltou finalização de fora da área para tirar a defesa argentina da linha, na avaliação registrada após a queda.
