Perhaps it's his heart, his deep connection with the club, and his desire to always help the Red-Blacks that weigh heavily on him. The fact is, Renato Augusto is able to focus on the match against Figueirense this Sunday. On Monday, he will report to coach Nelson Rodrigues, who will lead Brazil at the U-20 World Cup in Canada.

"I'm fully focused on the Florianópolis game. It's a very important match for Flamengo, and I want to leave the team in good shape before I report to the national team. Of course, I really value the call-up and the chance I'll have to wear the Brazilian jersey. But until Sunday's game is over, I'm only thinking about Flamengo," says Renato Augusto.

Even after joining the national team, Renato Augusto guarantees that he will remain focused on what happens in Gávea.

"Even with the national team, I'll be following Flamengo and the results of the games. I'll find a way to stay connected and cheer for my teammates. It's my club, and my friends will be playing until I return after the World Cup," says the midfielder.
