Correa predicts success as a second midfielder
Midfielder believes he can play further forward against Inter due to Kleberson's suspension
By From the team at Flamengo's official website - in
Correa arrived at Flamengo with the understanding that his original position is as a defensive midfielder, but he is available to coach Rogério Lourenço to play in any midfield position. After starting as a defensive midfielder against Atlético-GO and Avaí next Sunday (July 25.07), the player could play further forward against Internacional.
"It would be a good option to play a little further forward. I've already spoken with coach Rogério, who has already made progress compared to Sunday's game, and I'm available. I want to be involved, I want to help, and whatever he thinks I need to do, I'll do. The important thing is to keep our heads in the right place and go for the result," he said.
With that, Rômulo would be the replacement for Kleberson, who is suspended, and would perform the role that Correa did in the last matches.
"This is my original position. I have more freedom to get forward, shoot at goal, and provide the attackers with supplies. But playing as a defensive midfielder is no different for me. I'm trying to adapt, getting into game rhythm, because I haven't played for a long time. In any position, the important thing is to perform to the best of my ability," said the player, who believes he is improving physically.
"The only player who came in who didn't participate in the entire offseason was me. The rest were playing. The reinforcements who haven't played yet are in the same situation as me. So I believe the team is in good shape. It would be difficult if four or five players from the starting lineup were like that," he added.
