Volta Redonda (RJ) – Petkovic has long been an idol for Flamengo fans. Since his historic free-kick goal in the 2001 State Championship final, the Serbian has held a special place in the hearts of the Flamengo supporters. And that admiration only grew last year when the team from Gávea won their sixth Brazilian championship.
This year, Pet hasn't had as many opportunities to start as he did last season, and one of those opportunities will be this Thursday (October 07.10th) in Volta Redonda, where the number 10 has been cheered by fans wherever he's played. In this match, he hopes to repay all the affection with a good performance and a victory.
"I've played many games here in Volta Redonda, good games, and I always receive affection from the fans here. Now, once again, I want to reciprocate this admiration with a good performance and a victory, because that's what they want and that's what we want too. We will fight to get these three points," he said.
The supporter emphasizes the importance of achieving this victory not only for the fans but also for Flamengo's position in the standings.
"It's a very difficult and very important match for Flamengo. The three points are fundamental and we have to go for them no matter what. A victory moves us away from the relegation zone, puts us a little further ahead in the table, and we know how important it is," said the Serbian player, who expressed confidence in a good individual performance.
"I'm feeling good, yes, and I hope to help the team achieve results. More important than the individual aspect is the collective. If everyone plays well, each person's talent will shine through," he concluded.
