Diogo is confident for the game of his life.
The striker admits that this match is the most decisive he has ever played in his career.
By From the official website team - inForward Diogo arrived at Flamengo as one of the great promises of Brazilian football in recent years. Still young, he has already stood out at Portuguesa and Olympiacos in Greece, and has been working hard to repeat that success at Flamengo. A good way to shine is with a standout performance in Saturday's (November 20.11th) game against Guarani at Engenhão.
The match is considered by all players and fans to be a championship final for Flamengo, who are fighting to escape the bottom of the table. For Diogo, it's even more than that. It's the game of his life.
"This is the most important game of my career, for sure, because of the situation like this, for Flamengo. I hope to have a good game and help the team in this match, which is fundamental. I've been working hard in training, in games, and Saturday will be no different," said the player, who believes that a victory in this match could put Flamengo's situation in a very good position.
"I believe that with a victory against Guarani, we practically say goodbye to that danger. So we have to make our home advantage count, seek our result and fight until the end to get the three points. We know that we still need to improve, that we have fallen short, but we will seek this recovery now in the final stretch," he observed.
The number 43, without any vanity, admits that he would like to score more goals – he only has one so far for Flamengo – but believes that what matters is not who puts the ball in the net, but that the team comes out victorious.
"Regardless of who scores the goals, whether it's me or Deivid, the important thing is that we get the victory, which is our objective. Of course, it's always good to score, but what really matters is that the team gets the result," he concluded.
