The year 2010 isn't over yet, but it's inevitable that we're already thinking about 2011. Flamengo remains in Série A, may compete in the Copa Sudamericana, but is already guaranteed a spot in the Campeonato Carioca and the Copa do Brasil, at the very least. To achieve this, coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo must implement a squad overhaul.
Aware of this, the Flamengo players are calm and eager to impress the coach. One of them is striker Val Baiano. The number nine hopes to shine in the 2011 season wearing the Flamengo jersey, the club of his heart.
"My desire is to stay, especially since I have a contract, but regardless of what happens, I will always be grateful to Flamengo for the opportunity to be here," he revealed.
He also believes that the coach already knows what he wants from the team and who he can count on for the upcoming season. According to him, it's now important to remain calm and finish the year well, with a victory in Santos.
"Vanderlei will look for the players he believes the team needs for next year, I even think he's already decided on some things, and what's up to us is to try, at least, to end the year with a victory," he concluded.
On Sunday, Flamengo faces Santos in the final round of the Brasileirão. The likely Flamengo lineup is: Marcelo Lomba, Leonardo Moura, Welinton, David and Juan; Fernando, Maldonado, Fierro and Renato; Diego Maurício and Val Baiano.
