Diego Maurício experienced heroic days last weekend. He scored the winning goal for Flamengo against Guarani on Saturday (November 20.11th) at Engenhão. However, after the moment of glory, it's time to get back to work. Still unsure if he will start against Cruzeiro next Sunday (November 28.11th), he is available to help Vanderlei Luxemburgo – either as a starter or a substitute.
A product of the youth divisions, Diego Maurício celebrates his success in the first team, praises his teammate Deivid, who was injured in the match against Guarani, and does not consider himself a favorite for a starting spot in the game against the Minas Gerais team in Volta Redonda.
"I was saddened by Deivid's injury and I hope he recovers. Opportunities will naturally arise, based on merit. Whoever the coach chooses will be the best option," he said.
Diego fondly remembers the match against Guarani and assures that the game will be unforgettable for him, who is even more pleased that a player raised in Flamengo's youth system scored such an important goal.
"It was time for me to show my potential. I'm very calm and I try to do my best within my capabilities. I was happy that it was a homegrown player who scored that goal, which was so important for us," he said.
