Pentatri, hegemony, and sixth Brazilian championship. There's no doubt that 2009 was an unforgettable year for Flamengo. However, it's already over. This is the mindset of the red-and-black squad. Aware that 2010 could be even better, the players and coaching staff maintain that last season is already a thing of the past. Goalkeeper and captain Bruno, who always talked about winning major titles, is one of the leaders of this thinking.

\

The number 1 believes that the Copa Libertadores da América should be the club's top priority for the season. Despite this, Bruno says he also wants to win the State Championship and all the competitions Flamengo competes in.

\

"We can't keep thinking about the 2009 Brazilian title. We have an important year ahead of us, and last year's achievements are already behind us. Flamengo, given the shirt it wears, will never enter a competition to be a supporting player. Flamengo enters competitions to win," he stated.

A major concern for all players and also the coaching staff, physical fitness is also highlighted by goalkeeper Bruno as a fundamental factor for a year of good results.

"It's a new year and a new life. It's time to work hard and dedicate ourselves to the maximum to perform well throughout the season. Time is very short and it's not ideal, but the debut is close and we have to be prepared. I ask for a little understanding from the fans, because we may have some difficulties at the beginning, since the other teams started preparing well before us. It won't be as easy as everyone expects."
