See the main excerpts:
Classic against Botafogo
It's a tough game; Botafogo has a great team. When we play against them, it's always quite difficult, as they score a lot. But we're not worried about that. I think our squad is of great quality, and we know the responsibility we'll have in this game. We hope to get a good win.
One game away from two hundred for Flamengo
I'm very happy. It's gratifying to have this milestone here at Flamengo. I arrived here very young, from a very small town in Mato Grosso, and I had this dream. We know how difficult it is to play for Flamengo, and reaching this milestone here makes me very happy. I thank my family and my teammates. I hope to reach three hundred games too.
Foreigners in the cast
Trauco is an excellent full-back. I was really surprised by his quality. Mancuello is also another great player. These signings the club has been making are important. Berrío is also very strong, a speedy player who already scored a goal on his debut. Flamengo is highly motivated. It's a headache for the coach, as we have a lot of quality players on the roster.
Power of the red-black attack
This is thanks to the coach; he's very intelligent. Zé knows how to use the players he has, with very fast players on the wings and quality midfielders. I'm in a good phase and I'm also happy for my teammates. I hope we can achieve our goals this year.
