FlaBasquete continues its training routine with a view to Saturday's match (27) against Vasco da Gama. The game, valid for the first round of the return leg of NBB 10, will be held at Arena Carioca 1, at 14 pm. Strong contender for the season's MVP position, center JP Batista spoke about the importance of the classic, the trip to the Arena for training and his individual performance this season. 

The most efficient player in Novo Basquete Brasil, JP spoke about the moment he is going through and shared the credits with his teammates and coaching staff. 

"I've always said that without my teammates, I would never have achieved these personal achievements. I'm grateful to them and the coaching staff for their work, and I'm very happy to be able to help. All of this is the result of the effort I've put in throughout my career. I'm happy to be achieving this result, especially at a time when we need to fight for our goals," he said. 

Afterwards, the number 13 spoke about the classic against Vasco and about going to training at Arena Carioca 1.

"We have this super important game on Saturday, which will kick off the second half of the season. We're having very intense and good training sessions that will be essential for this game. The team is in a very good moment, we're growing, and with the arrival of Anderson and Mogi, our team will be even stronger. We expect very productive training sessions for the rest of the week to be prepared for the game against Vasco," analyzed JP. 

"Moving training to the Arena has been positive; it's important to train where you're going to play. In my three years at Flamengo, we always trained at Gávea and played at Tijuca, and now we have the opportunity to use Arena Carioca 1, which is the best gymnasium in Brazil, in my opinion. We feel privileged and have shown in the games that our performance has improved significantly," concluded the pivot.
