On Thursday morning (October 31.10st), in São Paulo, Cristiano Felício played his first game for Flamengo, which competes in the Basketball Development League (LDB). Despite his excellent performance (19 points and 14 rebounds), the center was unable to avoid a 64-59 defeat to Pinheiros, in the match that opened the fifth stage of the competition's qualifying phase. Despite the poor result, "Mais Querido" remains the leader, with 67 points, just two more than second-place Basquete Cearense.

"Felício had a great performance even though he's not yet 100% fit. He's still adapting to the group, as he's only trained with our squad three times. When he's fit and in sync with the others, our team will be even stronger," said coach Paulo Chupeta.

The night before the game against Pinheiros, Felício was on the court at the Tijuca Tennis Club gymnasium, where Flamengo won its ninth state championship. Besides him, Douglas and Diego Marques also attended both matches. The saddest note in the match played in São Paulo was the fracture in the left hand of point guard Chupeta.

This Friday (01.11/11), at 30:XNUMX am, again in São Paulo, Rubro-Negro will face Tijuca Tênis Clube. "It will be a better game, because the boys who played in the State final will already be more rested. They will just rest until the match time, recover and do everything right so that Flamengo wins well", completed Paulo Chupeta.
