In a long championship like the Brazilian one, which is played in a round-robin format, having a homogeneous and high-quality squad is more than important. And the players of Flamengo, the current champions of the competition, know this. That's why they praise the quality of the Flamengo squad, which has several options for coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo to put on the field.
The number 14 player believes that Flamengo only stands to gain from the variety of playing styles that the coach will have at his disposal if he can count on the entire squad, as in the match against Vasco on Sunday at Engenhão.
"This is good for Flamengo. He has many options and the problem now is up to the coach (laughs). I hope he can put together a great team to go for the three points against Vasco and that whoever he picks will go for the three points," said the defender, who believes a victory is crucial in the derby.
"We know that winning a derby boosts morale. We're coming off a few unbeaten games, and there's nothing better than maintaining that record in a derby. If we achieve this goal, which will be very difficult, it will be important for us," he noted.
Aware of Vasco's offensive prowess, David says there is no individual concern, but rather concern for the entire Vasco team.
"We know that Felipe, Eder Luis, and Zé Roberto are in good form, but our attention will be focused on the entire Vasco team. We will work hard during the week to be ready when the ball starts rolling," he added.
