Anyone who thinks that only the fans were surprised by Camacho's starting midfielder selection for Flamengo in their 23.05-3 victory over Grêmio Prudente last Sunday (1) is completely mistaken. Since Saturday (22.05), when the Rubro-negro held their last training session before the match, the young player, who turned 20 in 2010, was already feeling butterflies in his stomach.
Camacho, who had already worked with coach Rogério Lourenço in the youth divisions, said he was surprised to be selected in the starting lineup, but that he received full support from the coaching staff and his teammates.
"I arrived for training on Saturday and was met with a big surprise. I had played for the youth team in the middle of the week and was surprised to be named in the starting lineup by Rogério. Even so, I worked hard, trained well, and I think I also played well. Without a doubt, the closeness I had with Rogério helped. He knew me from the youth team and made me feel very comfortable. He told me I could play in that position, and I tried to reciprocate," the midfielder stated confidently.
Regarding the future, Camacho makes a point of promising a lot of work and keeping his feet on the ground.
"Thank God I was able to play well. But I can improve. I was happy to have helped the team get their first win in the Brazilian Championship. To stay, I need to keep working hard. I know that I can leave the team just as I came in, after all, the group is very qualified," explained Camacho, who believes in a turnaround, especially with the team's spirit.
"The mood was a little bad after the elimination, which is normal. But I'm sure the victory gave the team new energy. I think we can reach the title once again. This game, besides, will be memorable for me and Diego (Maurício). We grew up at Flamengo and we fulfilled a dream," he concluded.
