Se the night will be unforgettable for Rogério Lourenço, defender David will also have much to remember from this Wednesday for the rest of his career. The young Flamengo defender had a strong performance in the highly anticipated match against Corinthians, with Ronaldo and company, and left the field to a standing ovation from the fans. In return, the number 14 even threw his jersey to the fans.

Having started three games, David celebrated the result and described it as a victory that had been overcome. However, knowing that nothing is set in stone, he asked his teammates for the same commitment in the return match, next Wednesday at Pacaembu Stadium.

"I'm very happy with the victory. We faced many difficulties, played with one man down for a long time, and had to face a heavy pitch. Furthermore, we had Corinthians ahead of us, a great opponent. This victory was marked by resilience, grit, and determination from everyone, and this must be repeated at Pacaembu," he stated.

David believes that, given the game's progress, the one-goal victory should be celebrated, but with caution. After all, qualification will only be decided in the match in São Paulo.

"We have the advantage of the draw, but we'll go into the game there too. Falling behind is very dangerous. Corinthians has a great team. But the result here was good, without a doubt. Now we have to go in calmly to take advantage of the advantage and come out with the classification," he concluded.

This was David's tenth game this season. With him on the field, Flamengo won eight games, drew one, and lost one. He has scored one goal this year, in a 3-2 victory over Caracas at Maracanã.
