It could be said that Diego Maurício and Val Baiano currently form an unlikely starting attacking duo for Flamengo. After all, when Val arrived, it was expected that he would play alongside Cristian Borja or Leandro Amaral, who were also recently signed. Young Diego was merely an option, especially after the arrivals of Diogo and Deivid.
But last Thursday, the number 49 came off the bench to replace the injured Diogo against Atlético-GO. Val also didn't start the game, but came on for Deivid and shone. He scored the first goal in the victory. Diego scored the second, and both left Volta Redonda with their starting positions guaranteed for the following match against Avaí, when the number 9 scored twice.
"Thank God it worked out in the games we played together and hopefully we can repeat that on Saturday. It's a complicated game, Internacional is a strong team that is fighting for the title, and it will be very important for us to do our part up front to help the team," said Diego Maurício.
Happy, Val Baiano believes that now is the time to maintain the intensity of daily work so that, regardless of who puts the ball in the net, the team can achieve victories.
"The goal is to maintain this good run. The team is performing well, the work is being done well, and I believe that a victory against Internacional can help us a lot. It certainly won't be easy, but the important thing, regardless of individual performance, is that we achieve a positive result," he concluded.
