Defender and captain Fábio Luciano was one of the players responsible for Flamengo's improved performance in this Brazilian Championship. With his experience, the player has significantly improved the team's defense. For example, the club conceded just three goals in the last seven games of the tournament.

"Our defense is very good. We've managed to find a balance, and we haven't conceded many goals in recent games."

Regarding the upcoming match against Corinthians at Maracanã, the defender expects the defense to maintain the same performance. The player, who previously played for the São Paulo club, knows the match will be tough.

"They're two great teams, with two great fan bases. Corinthians is going through a tough time, and they come to Rio de Janeiro needing a result. This means they can give us space, and we have to take advantage of it. We're going for the win."

Even in the relegation zone, Fábio Luciano makes a point of saying that the opponent has great players, like the dangerous striker Finazzi.

"Finazzi is a dangerous player and always deserves special attention. We respect all the Corinthians players, and it will be a very tough match."
