Our goal is to have a winning streak. We need it in the Brazilian Championship. To achieve that, we still have a lot to improve, but the team has enormous potential. We will work to make that improvement happen. Of course, we are very motivated and hopeful.

- Flamengo plays differently with Guerrero. The opponent is more worried. He commands respect and brings a characteristic that we don't have in the squad: he worries the opponent and is decisive. We were expecting this and we knew we could achieve it. 

- What pleases me is when the team plays in a balanced way, has the right attitude, defends well and attacks equally well. Against Inter we played with three defensive midfielders and we were praised. The team played very well and what matters is playing in a balanced and efficient way. Regardless of the formation, that's what's important. That's what we're aiming for.

- He's very talented and has a mature game. He's been important for us because he's provided defensive consistency, supports the attack well, and is contributing a lot. We're happy when a young player, a product of our youth system, gets to play.

- The team played well today. (Marcelo) Cirino had been feeling unwell since the middle of the first half, with headaches, and that's why he came off. In this championship, performance fluctuations happen quite a bit. There's no such thing as a definitive team. That's because we need to have a group to do well in the championship and maintain the level when we substitute a player. That's already starting to happen. That's the most important thing.
