After training this Thursday morning, goalkeeper Bruno asked for caution with striker Fred, number 9 for Fluminense, Flamengo's opponent next Sunday at Maracanã. According to the Flamengo number 1, Fred is a very dangerous attacker in the air.

"What we have to pay most attention to with Fred is his headers. He can't be left free in the box because he's a beast."

Bruno also made a point of praising striker Adriano and said that the Emperor is a more complete player than Fred.

"I'm a thousand times Adriano. He's the Emperor, and he didn't get there by accident. Fred is a great player, but I have to pull my weight. He has many honors and has done a lot for our country, he has more caps for the national team."
