Flamengo's qualification for the final of the 2011 Guanabara Cup, after eliminating Botafogo on penalties this Sunday, was greatly celebrated by Deivid. A self-proclaimed fan, the forward will have the opportunity to compete in his first final for the red and black team.

"It's a great joy, a childhood dream that is coming true. I hope that the Engenhão is packed next Sunday and the crowd encourages us in the fight to win the Guanabara Cup and a place in the state final," said the number 9.

BEWARE OF BOAVISTA
Flamengo's top scorer in the Guanabara Cup with four goals, alongside Wanderley, Deivid preaches total respect for his opponent in the tournament final.

"Boavista had a great campaign. In the first phase, they beat Vasco, made the game very difficult against us (Flamengo's 3-2 victory on the 6th) and even eliminated Fluminense on penalties in the semifinal. It will be a very difficult game, but we will work hard during the week to face this new challenge," concluded the Flamengo striker.
