Top scorer of the match with 17 points, Varejão contributed greatly to FlaBasquete's victory over Vasco on Saturday afternoon at the Tijuca Tennis Club gymnasium. After the game, the number 17 spoke to the press and highlighted the team's commitment.

“The group is giving their all, we are doing what Gustavinho asks of us both offensively and defensively. We still make some mistakes, which is normal. We just started, this is our third game and we will have ups and downs. What matters is everyone's commitment and the will to win,” highlighted the Flamengo pivot.

Rafael Mineiro, the leading rebounder in the classic match, corroborated Verejão's statement and celebrated the victory. “We managed to demonstrate our strength. The team managed to develop well what Gustavinho has been asking of us, which is to play with speed and impose our rhythm of play. A super important victory for the rest of the championship.”

In Gustavinho's Flamengo team, there are no reserves or starters; the coach rotated the squad during the match, and everyone was able to contribute in their own way to today's victory. "If everyone understands their role and function within the team, as Gustavinho tells us, there are no starters and reserves. In the end, when we lift the trophy, everyone will have made their contribution," concluded Flamengo's number 12.
