"My assessment of the match is positive. We haven't played for a while and have had a short training period. We need to give some encouragement to the kids who came up from the youth ranks, who did very well despite the great pressure of never having played in the professional ranks. We won three games and the whole team is proud. This shows that our squad is very strong," said the captain.

"We're working hard and ask for a little patience at the beginning. The coach hasn't managed to repeat a lineup yet and is gradually adjusting the team. We're on the right track. I've worked with Carpegiani on other teams and know his work well," he added.

The next red-black match will be on Sunday (4), when Mais Querido goes to Brasília to face Nova Iguaçu, at 17 pm, at the Mané Garrincha stadium. The duel is valid for the last round of the Guanabara Cup.
