Internet users believe that Flamengo has the potential to fight for the seventh Brazilian title
By From the team at Flamengo's official website - in
"We will defend our title tooth and nail. The squad is homogeneous, competitive, and we can fight for the seventh title." This was the option chosen by the majority of Flamengo fans (40%) in response to the question "What are Flamengo's goals in the Brazilian Championship?", in a poll conducted by the official website in recent weeks. The four-game winless streak hasn't discouraged the Flamengo fans, who remain confident and show unwavering support for the team, which further motivates the players.
"It's great to have this support. As I always say, Flamengo, with the support of the fans, is very strong. This unity is important, and a full Maracanã only motivates us. Certainly, with hard work and the quality players we have, we will fight to defend this title," said goalkeeper Marcelo Lomba.
Striker Val Baiano, recently signed by the club and who will play his fourth game as a starter for Rubro-Negro on Saturday (14.08), knows the responsibility he has to put the ball in the opponents' net and promises a lot of dedication to meet the Nation's expectations.
"As Zico said, everyone here has quality and should be supported. Flamengo fans always demand results, and everyone knows that, but we also know that if we give our all on the field, we'll have a nation that supports us greatly. This is proof. We'll do our best to fight for good things in this championship," he said.
One of the players most identified with Flamengo fans in the current squad, defender Ronaldo Angelim, hero of the sixth Brazilian championship won last year, believes that the team is fully capable of defending its title this season.
"The Flamengo team has quality. We know we're going through a difficult time, we need to improve, but we do have the ability to defend our title, especially with the support of the fans, which is crucial for us," he added.
