David bets on the group's unity to climb the table
Defender highlights the team's desire to win this Thursday's match against Atlético-GO
By From the team at Flamengo's official website - inVolta Redonda (RJ) - The arrival of new coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo was welcomed by the Flamengo squad. Leo Moura and Deivid have already highlighted the qualities of the now Flamengo coach and are betting on his success. But for this to work, as Luxemburgo himself explained, the team needs to "connect." Defender David believes the team is already on the right track to achieve this.
\"Our group is strong, united, and will get through this situation. We've already proven we have the quality to climb the table. We're lacking a bit of luck, perhaps, but this phase will pass in the next few rounds. We're focused on results, and they will come," he said.
\On defense, Flamengo will face a key test in Thursday's match (September 07.09th) against direct rival Atlético-GO. Without Jean and Angelim, who are suspended, Luxemburgo is expected to go with Welinton and David. For the number 14, this is proof of the consistency of the Flamengo squad, another factor that could make a difference.
\"It's very important to have this strength in the squad. The defense issue shows exactly that. Without Jean and Angelim, we still have Welinton and I back there to form the defense. With either of us, I believe the defense is well served," said David, who praised his new teammate in defense.
\"We have no problem playing together. It's common to play this way. Welinton is a young player too, who will definitely be motivated and will help the team a lot," he concluded.
