This Friday afternoon (23) was full of reunions at Ninho do Urubu! That's because striker Michael is back at Mengão and was presented with a press conference at CT. Check out some excerpts from the irreverent interview with Flamengo's new number 30:

Return to the Vulture's Nest
"I didn't see anyone yesterday because the cast was gone when I arrived, but I met up with some of the staff, had coffee with them, and I'm already used to it. I left, but I remembered every detail here. It's as if I've already adapted. I'm so happy to be back. It feels like we never leave. There's excitement, surreal energy, and I hope to contribute even more."

More experienced
"I come back a little more experienced and wanting to contribute what I learned there. But I also want to learn from those who are here, who are successful. That's the big difference."

Ready to reopen
"I'm ready, I was playing. I was crowned champion last Saturday in the Saudi Arabian Super Cup. I played in two games, was training, and was in preseason. I hope to be ready for our coach, but he's the one who chooses. Whatever he thinks is best, I'll help."

Choose shirt number 30
"I saw that number, and no one else had it. I wasn't going to argue. I wanted to come, contribute, and help. It was the number that pleased me and the club."

Position preference
"At Goiás, I played on the right and the left, but I prefer to play on the left. At Flamengo and Al-Hilal, I played on both flanks. It's about running, right? I leave the thinking to Arrasca and other players. My thing is running. I prefer to play on the left, but if I have to play on the right, I'll always be ready to help Flamengo."
