By - in

Defender Ronaldo Angelim will return to a place he's very familiar with: Flamengo's starting lineup. He hasn't started in recent matches, but next Saturday, against Internacional at the Engenhão stadium, the number 4 will make his first appearance under coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo and is looking to make a good impression on him.

One of the idols of the red-black fans in the current squad, Angelim knows that the team needs a victory to continue evolving in the competition and promises to give his all so that the team can win the three points.

"We always have confidence, even more so now that the team is playing well again. We need to win to maintain our calm in the competition and I will do everything I can to achieve this victory, which is very important," he said.

The player, who enjoys analyzing opponents during Brazilian Championship matches, knows what Flamengo needs to neutralize Inter: a lot of marking.

"They've been playing with reserve players, but now some of their starters will be back, and it's going to be tough. We'll try to mark their attacking side well so we can have a great game and a win, which is crucial," he added.
