After Friday afternoon's recreational training session at the Ninho do Urubu Training Center, striker Adriano celebrated the return of midfielder Petkovic for tomorrow's match against Santos at Maracanã. According to the number 10, the Serbian's inclusion will make his job on the field much easier.

\

"Pet is a key player for me and the team. Most of the goals I've scored so far have come from his feet. He's intelligent and knows me very well. I'm sure he'll help us in tomorrow's match. He's a complete player and can make the difference."

Adriano said that it is always very special to play in a Maracanã packed with red-black fans.

\

"The fans mean a lot. They support us all the time and become another player for us. As a child, I always dreamed of playing for Flamengo in a packed Maracanã stadium. Tomorrow the fans will turn out in force, and that gives me even more strength and desire to win."
