Since arriving at Flamengo, the nation has placed its hopes in Diego for good performances and positive results—and he hasn't been disappointed. With the number 35 on the field, Flamengo has played eight matches, winning seven and drawing only one, totaling a 91,6% success rate.

Diego made his debut in the red-and-black team's 2-1 victory over Grêmio in Brasilia. The start couldn't have been better; in addition to the three points, the midfielder also scored one of the match's goals. Next up were Chapecoense (3-1), Ponte Preta (2-1), Vitória (2-1), Palmeiras (1-1), Figueirense (2-0), and Cruzeiro (2-1), all in the Brazilian Championship. The midfielder also played against Figueirense in the Copa Sudamericana. The Greatest in the World won 3-1.

Next Saturday (01), the number 35 has another important clash for the Brasileirão and hopes to maintain the good average with the Manto. The duel against São Paulo is scheduled for 16 pm, at Morumbi.
