Kleberson: “I'm happy to have represented Fla well”
“It was great to celebrate another title with the national team, but now I want to be Brazilian champion with Flamengo.”
By Flamengo Archive - inSupporter Kleberson, a Confederations Cup champion with the Brazilian national team, returned to the stadium this morning in Gávea. He couldn't hide his joy at another title with the Brazilian team and said he will work hard to secure a spot in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
"We always dream of playing in a World Cup. I played in one when I was 22, and it left a lasting impression on me. When you get the chance to dream again, the motivation is even greater. But it will depend on what I do at the club. I'm back to continue my work here and live up to expectations to earn a place in 2010. A comeback like this is always great, given how I left, with everyone cheering for me, and returning with a title. I'm very happy to have represented Flamengo so well."
Kleberson stated that he is focused on helping the red-black team win the Brazilian Championship.
"When I returned to Brazil, I thought about helping Flamengo and returning to the national team. When I went to the World Cup, I was called up in the same year. Now I have to keep working here at the club. I'm very happy and I'm thinking about being a Brazilian champion. It gives me even more strength for the World Cup. Whether I'm called up or not, a Brazilian title strengthens me, the team, and the club. I always have more goals in my career, and the Brazilian Championship and the World Cup are next."
