With Zico's support and with the second top scorer position in the 2009 Brazilian Championship, Val Baiano takes to the field this Sunday (01.08) to play his first game as a starter for Flamengo, at 18:30 pm, against Vasco, at Maracanã. Knowing the importance of a good performance and a good result against the rival, he knows that leaving a positive impression is fundamental for his career at Gávea.

The calm striker believes that one match is not enough to analyze his performance and asks fans for patience. After all, he is still getting into the swing of things, having not played for a long time. Even so, he promises to give his all to help Flamengo win.
\
"Everyone knows that I'm not at my best yet, but I'm going to do my best to help our team win. I'm calm, I know I can help and dedicate myself to getting the three points," he said.
\
\ The player has fond memories of Flamengo and Maracanã. \ A fan of the Rubro-Negro since childhood, it was precisely when \ he faced the team from Gávea at the stadium that he scored his only goal at the Biggest \ in the World, last year.
\
"My unforgettable game that I played at Maracanã was precisely last year, against Flamengo in the 1-1 draw with Barueri, because I scored my only goal at the stadium," said Val, who now wants to have the pleasure of scoring goals wearing the Sacred Mantle.
\
"Now I hope to do it wearing the Flamengo shirt, which is the club of my heart," he concluded.
