Goals, composure, and character.

The experience and composure of striker Deivid are trademarks of Flamengo's number 99, as are his goals and titles in such a victorious career. But he arrived at Gávea after a long period of inactivity and, obviously, needed time to readjust to Brazilian football and regain match fitness. But he always had the support of the group. And it's no coincidence.
Besides his on-field skills, Deivid also strives to be a man of character off the field. That's why his teammates are always by his side. Like Val Baiano, who, even as a direct competitor for a starting spot, showered the player with praise. Happy with this support, Deivid praised the team's unity and recalled his career achievements.
"The Flamengo group is strong, united, and I've always said that. Everyone wins, loses, and draws together. I have many important titles in my career and I don't have to prove anything to anyone anymore. I've already proven my potential and I have to do my best to perform at my best on the field. I'm happy, fulfilled, I do what I love, and I'll always have a smile on my face," said the center forward, who took the opportunity to "put himself out there."
"I have my health, three beautiful children, and I came from where I came from, I achieved everything I achieved, without betraying anyone. And that will never change. I've never liked making excuses. I've always faced life and its problems head-on. I've never been one to blame others. Of course, I wanted to return to Brazil as before, but I hadn't played for Fenerbahçe since November, and that makes a difference," he noted.
For 2011, the striker has the highest possible expectations. He believes he can play his best football after a good pre-season.
"I'm sure that, with a good preseason, I'll reap the rewards. I'll work hard in the sandpit, which Melo uses a lot and I enjoy doing. I know my body and the goals will come," he added.
