On Thursday, he was the coach, but this Friday, Marcelo Salles returned to work as Andrade's assistant coach at Flamengo. After leading a mix of reserve and junior players in the 3-0 friendly victory over Brasília FC in the capital, "Fera" has now returned to his role as the Flamengo coach's right-hand man.

The work of analyzing the next opponent began as soon as the assistant arrived at Gávea. Marcelo grabbed DVDs of América's recent matches to analyze and pass the information on to Andrade.

"Now work is back to normal. I'm going to watch the videos and pass the information on to Andrade. Life goes on," he commented.

In the coming days, the assistant coach is expected to provide a full report on the match in Brasília to the coach. The list includes praise for Rômulo, Guilherme Camacho, Paulo Victor, and young Carlyle.

"The players who were already working with us in the professional team did well, and Carlyle debuted well. It's important for him, as he's starting to adapt to the first team. It was good that he debuted well, scoring a goal, and now he's gaining confidence," he noted.

Without hiding his dream of becoming a professional coach in the future, Marcelo was happy with the opportunity and the result.

"Professor Andrade gave me an opportunity that few coaches offer. It's important for my career. It was a great experience for my professional growth," he added.
