Diogo praises the team's chemistry and continues his search for goals.
The striker believes that his partnership with Deivid will bring much joy to the Flamengo fans.
By From the team at Flamengo's official website - inVolta Redonda (RJ) - At 23 years old, Diogo arrived at Flamengo as a great promise of Brazilian football. And his dedication on the field in each of the 10 games he played wearing the red-and-black jersey justifies such expectations. However, the striker, who has been applauded by the Flamengo fans, has not yet scored his first goal wearing the Sacred Mantle. The fight for it continues next Thursday (07.09).
\"I'm looking for that goal, you know? Unfortunately, it hasn't come yet, but I'm trying very hard, and as I've been saying, more important than that is dedication on the field. I want to help the team get results, that's what matters," said the number 43, who trained as a starter this Wednesday (06.09).
\The number 43 knows he needs to find the back of the net, and just like his new coach, Vanderlei Luxemburgo, he's betting on hard work to break his goal drought and also trusts in the talent of his teammates, such as the attacking duo with Deivid, with whom he's becoming increasingly in sync, to achieve better results.
\"The duo is gelling, which is normal. I think that with each training session, with each game, we are trying to perform better and prove to the Flamengo fans that we are capable of doing a good job up front," observed the center forward, who also highlighted the difficulty of the Brazilian Championship.
\"The Brazilian Championship is very difficult. Each game is more complicated than the last, and whenever possible it's crucial to get points, especially in matches where the opponent is a direct rival for position. So this Thursday's game is very important for us. We're going to look for a positive result," he concluded.
