Defender Welinton and goalkeeper Marcelo Lomba have already highlighted the quality of Diego Tardelli and Obina, Atlético Mineiro forwards who have previously played for Flamengo. But defender Ronaldo Angelim goes further. For him, the entire Atlético Mineiro team should be the focus of much attention from the Flamengo team in Saturday's (November 13.11th) match at Arena do Jacaré in Sete Lagoas. Aware that the match against the Belo Horizonte team is crucial for both teams in the standings, the defender believes Flamengo is ready for the challenge.
Angelim, who spoke extensively with Vanderlei Luxemburgo after training last Wednesday (November 10.11th), is one of the group's leaders and one of the longest-serving players. Therefore, he knows well how to exploit the qualities of each player in the squad. He asks his teammates to show all their determination in the match against the Minas Gerais team.
"It's a game where we need to be focused, because a victory would give us peace of mind in the competition. We must be very careful not only with their attack, but with the whole team. Atlético has a great team and could, like Flamengo, be competing at the top of the table," he stated.
The defender points out that Flamengo hasn't been in the relegation zone even once this season and affirms that they have everything they need to avoid it in the coming rounds if they maintain their composure and intensity. For the hero of the sixth championship title, Flamengo's objective is indeed a spot in next year's Copa Sudamericana.
"Atlético is four points behind us in the standings, so we can't let them catch up. We want to climb up the table quickly to secure our spot in the Copa Sudamericana," he added.
