Calmness has become the most striking trait of coach Andrade's personality as Flamengo's manager. A five-time Brazilian champion as a player, Tromba is also closely monitoring the possibility of winning the most important title in Brazilian football as a coach. However, not even that can shake the Flamengo manager's composure. After all, it's up to him to contain his excitement and prevent any euphoria among his squad in this final stretch of the 2009 Brasileirão.

And in this regard, the coach has already proven himself a true expert. Since the team's start in the competition, he set the goal of reaching the top four. He achieved it. Then, the goal was to remain in the top four. He also achieved it. Now the mission is to pursue a sixth championship, which, for the coach, could already be "sealed."

\

"We can't get carried away or be content with 60 points. Flamengo hasn't reached this stage in a long time, and there will be a lot of excitement. But we can't fall for that. São Paulo is a very strong candidate for the title, and it's up to them. But who knows, maybe their destiny is already sealed? I believe that," he said.

Accustomed to great achievements on the field, now that he's on the field, Andrade explains that it's harder to handle the pressure of working as a coach than as a player. However, he praises his squad and assures that it's easy to work with the red-and-black group.

"Being out of the field is much worse because it's not up to you. My hands are tied. But my group is very easy to work with and they've been understanding. That makes it easier to work."
