One of the most experienced players in the red-and-black squad, midfielder Kleberson will have another chance in the starting lineup tomorrow in the match against Boavista at Maracanã. Dropped from the team in the second round of the Campeonato Carioca, the five-time champion hopes to rediscover his great form tomorrow in front of the red-and-black fans.

"No player likes to be left out. We're a little disappointed, but I know it was Cuca's tactical choice. Everyone wants to be in the starting eleven and help the team. But now the opportunity has come again, and I hope to deliver. I hope everything goes well and that Flamengo wins and secures first place in Group B."

The number 15 will play as a second midfielder, a position in which he feels best on the field.

"I like playing this position, as a defensive midfielder. It's where I feel most comfortable. I can surprise attackers and take long-range shots. I'm really excited and eager to get on the field."
