Adriano continues to rigorously adhere to his plan for the derby against Vasco da Gama next Sunday (March 14.03). The Emperor went to Gávea on Wednesday afternoon (March 10.03) and worked on finishing. Under the guidance of coach Daniel Jouvin, he began the activity with a quick game of footvolley and then began practicing kicks and headers.
Goalkeepers Paulo Victor and Marcelo Carné were chosen for the difficult task of preventing the number 10 from scoring. However, they could do little. The Emperor performed well in the training session. Even so, Marcelo couldn't hide his happiness at helping with such an important training session for a player who, until recently, was his distant idol.
"Adriano and Pet himself, with whom I've been training regularly as a professional, are idols I had. Until recently, I was in the stands cheering for them. I'm very happy to be here," he said.
The club's fourth-choice goalkeeper, who is also the starting goalkeeper for the youth team, was full of praise for the Emperor's talent. According to him, the task of trying to stop the number 10's shots is a thankless one, but it could be helpful in the future.
"He's different. It's very difficult to stop shots, especially in a game like this, where he's more likely to sink shots. But that's good. If you start doing well against Adriano, later on, facing other players of a lower level than him, it will be easier to make saves," he concluded.
Marcelo Carné, along with all players not listed for Wednesday's match in Caracas, will train Thursday morning at Gávea. Adriano, according to the coaching staff's schedule, will also train in the afternoon.
