"Flamengo is a great team, and I'm very happy to be able to showcase my football. Here, I hope to be that Vitória player again and help the team as much as I can. I know the responsibility is huge, as it's the team with the biggest fan base in Brazil, as well as being the current Brazilian champion. Here, we know there's always pressure and that the fans always want the best. The fans can expect a lot of commitment and desire from me on the field.
