For Ricardo Fischer, Flamengo's new point guard, arriving at Gávea means more than just joining the most successful squad in Brazilian basketball. The 25-year-old, 1,83'XNUMX" São Paulo native will also have the honor of playing alongside Marcelinho Machado, captain of the Orgulho da Nação and the club's most successful player in the sport's history, and will also be able to adopt the Carioca way of life, which Fischer himself praises.
"One of the things I like most about Rio is its lightness, which is very natural. Cariocas like to enjoy the city, drink coconut water, run along the shore, wear flip-flops...", said Fischer, who also commented on his way of playing with the orange ball.
"My style is a little more aggressive at the basket. I like to score, organize the team, and provide assists. I have a good shot and like to take risks. I think it will change the team's style of play a bit," he analyzed.
In your press conference, alongside another reinforcement for the season, shooting guard Humberto, last Thursday (7), Fischer recalled that he has played for years alongside the red-black stars Marquinhos, Olivinha and Marcelinho for the Brazilian National Team, and believes that the rapport will help in adapting to Flamengo. The captain agreed.
"It turns out that there's always an exchange between the more experienced and younger players, where both always learn and share experiences. He (Fischer) is a top-level player, I'm sure the fans will welcome him very well and I hope he's happy at Flamengo and that together we can win more titles for the club," said Marcelinho.
The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo adult basketball team relies on direct funding from its sponsor Estácio, in addition to investments from Tim via the State Sports Incentive Law/State Secretariat for Sports, Leisure and Youth (ICMS).
