After training this Thursday afternoon at the Ninho do Urubu Training Center, striker Adriano said he expects a very tough match against Náutico on Sunday at the Afitos Stadium. The number 10 asked his teammates to be extra careful to avoid a setback in Recife.

\

"We know the difficulties we'll face. Their team is fighting relegation and will do everything to win. We have to face this with humility and seriousness. We can't make the mistakes we made against Barueri if we want to stay in the top four."

\

Adriano is counting on Petkovic's quality to decide another match for Flamengo in this Brasileirão.

\

"Pet is a key player for the team. He's very intelligent and practically forces the striker to move. You just have to find space and he'll put you right in front of the goal. I still learn a lot from him today."
