The day after Flamengo's 2-0 victory over Santos, valid for the first leg of the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals, Orlando Berrío appeared in the Victorino Chermont Press Room after a recovery training session at Ninho do Urubu. Having delivered one of the best individual performances in last Wednesday's (28) match, the striker celebrated his good form, highlighting the increased confidence he has gained from the opportunities he has received from coach Zé Ricardo.

With a 100% success rate at Ilha do Urubu, totaling three wins in three games, Berrío praised the atmosphere provided by the fans at the new Flamengo home. The great moment experienced by his Colombian national team teammate Gustavo Cuéllar, who scored the winning goal against Santos, was also celebrated by the number 28.

Without a doubt, I've been gaining a lot of confidence with each match. Playing continuously, it's growing. I'm getting along better with my teammates. Working with Zé every day, in training and in matches, I'm feeling very good. My goal is to continue preparing myself, because we have big objectives with the club. We have a team that helps each other a lot, both in attack and defense.

It has contributed greatly to our performance, as we have the support of our fans. This support is very important to all of us, and it's reciprocal. We are very happy because it greatly benefits the club.

That's football for you. In a big team like Flamengo, with so many fans, there's this pressure. We're going through a difficult time, but we're improving with hard work and dedication. We're getting results, and it's important that we continue like this. We want to fight for titles.

I'm thinking about Flamengo. I don't care much about what the other opponents are going through. We only think about Flamengo, Flamengo, and Flamengo. Our goal is to put Flamengo in the highest position possible. 

The internal competition we have makes us better. It forces us to give much more of ourselves. This generates many benefits. We have many variations, which pleases the coach. We are working in the best way possible. Both I and my teammates are working very hard every day.

I think everyone knows how good he is. Personally, from what little I know of him, he's a good person. On Sunday, whether he or I will play is up to the coach. If he plays, I'll support him just like I do all my teammates.

Personally, I'm happy for the moment he's experiencing. It's an emotional experience to be able to thank these people who always support us, who are our family. They support us when we have an injury, during the most difficult times. It's a great responsibility, and that's why we have to work harder and harder.
