The season is over, time to make plans for the next. This is Kleberson's mindset. Although he's still celebrating winning the Brazilian Championship, the midfielder is starting to plan for 2010 with two important goals: the first is to regain a starting spot for the Red-Black team, and the second is to play in the World Cup again.

The year that is about to end was marked by achievements and a serious injury for the number 15. In August, he suffered a dislocated shoulder during a friendly match between the Brazilian National Team and Estonia and had to undergo surgery, which kept him out until the penultimate round of the Brazilian Championship, when he returned to be on the bench against Goiás.

Now, Kleberson is hoping to compete in another World Cup. "We know that experience is very valuable in a World Cup. I already had the opportunity to compete in 2002, but now the situation is different because I already have a group formed. I hope I can do a good job and perhaps represent Brazil again," the midfielder told Justicadesportiva.com.br.

Returning to the starting lineup in Flamengo's midfield is another goal for the player in 2010, the year in which the Rio de Janeiro club will attempt to win its fourth state championship and also compete in the Libertadores. Having spent a long time recovering from shoulder surgery, Kleberson played little in the second half of the year and now wants to work hard to regain his place in the team.

"Unfortunately, I wasn't able to continue in this final stretch, but I'm very motivated so that next year I can go all out and maybe have a chance," said the player during the awards ceremony for the best in the Brazilian Championship.
