'I hope the Empire of Love lasts forever'
Vagner Love believes that the partnership with Adriano can yield even more results.
By From the team at Flamengo's official website - inVagner Love's relationship with Flamengo is like any other beginning of a relationship: pure passion. On the field, the player has been doing his part, which is scoring goals, and in the stands, the fans have also been living up to expectations, pushing the team forward and playing a crucial role.
\In great form, with four goals in four matches, the number nine dreams of an even better year alongside Adriano in Flamengo's attacking duo. Love also says he has no problem returning to score and reiterates that he will give his life for the red-and-black club if necessary.
\classic - Their defense was good. They mentioned this before the game, and I replied: everything has its first time. And today was like that. When they gave us the opportunity, we played fast and scored. The fourth goal was beautiful. I was lucky with the pass to Vinícius, who was even more fortunate with the pass to Adriano. We put together a good passing line, a great counterattack, and we turned the game around.
\Marking - I've never complained to any coach about having to score. Even more so today, with a man down. Álvaro was sent off, and then we played two lines of four and got such an important result.
\Four goals in four games - I decided I'd do everything I could to help Flamengo achieve positive results. I said I'd give my life for Flamengo, and I'm trying to do just that. I have to be up front, always thinking about scoring goals. I'm working hard to achieve that.
\Partnership with Adriano - I've had good teammates, like Edmilson at Palmeiras and Jô at CSKA, but with Adriano's level, we can also form a great duo. We've shown that in the last three games, and I hope to do much more when we're both at full fitness. I still expect many goals and titles with Flamengo.
\Cheerleaders - We know how important Flamengo's fans are, and we play for them. We would have been disappointed with the loss. We came back in the second half saying we needed to have a bigger lead. The fans' support was crucial.
