A starter in the 2-1 victory over Internacional, midfielder Cristian is keeping an eye on Sunday's Fla-Flu match at Maracanã. He believes the red-and-black team must impose its style to secure another victory in this Brazilian Championship and, consequently, remain at the top of the table.

- "The squad we have is ready to fight for the Brazilian title. Whether they have the starting lineup or not, Fluminense will want to show their worth, and we need to impose ourselves to win. Whatever the lineup, it's Fluminense's shirt. What happened in the state championship is in the past. We need a good result to stay at the top of the Brazilian championship table."

Cristian is happy to be playing his second consecutive match as a starter for Caio Júnior's team.

"It's good to have this sequence as a starter. Everyone will have an opportunity and, when you grab it, you have to do everything to not let go again."
