After the first victory, the first goal. That's what striker Diogo, Flamengo's number 43, is looking for, as he plays his sixth game in the red-and-black shirt next Sunday (19.09). And for the player there couldn't be a better occasion to score than in a classic against the competition's leader.
"The first victory was hard-fought, but I'm now looking forward to the first goal. Especially in a classic. It would be even better to score in a game like this," he said, in an exclusive interview with Flamengo's official website.
\ In the midweek match against Prudente, an image marked the \ moment after Toró's goal, which gave Flamengo the victory in the 48th minute\ of the second half: Diogo smiled, cheered and jumped as if the goal had \ been his.
"I was really excited, as if it were my own goal. It was important for the whole team. We know the difficulties we had in that game. We lost, they had a player sent off, and that's why I celebrated a lot," said the striker, who hopes the team can get their second consecutive victory on Sunday.
"A classic is special. Every game is important, but a classic has that extra \ importance, for sure, and we're going to do everything to win," he concluded.
