Early in the afternoon this Friday (8), Flamengo presented its new reinforcements for the season. Left-back Ayrton Lucas and goalkeeper Santos gave a press conference and spoke to the press present at Ninho do Urubu. Check out some excerpts:

Pressure of playing for Fla

Saints:
"When I decided to come here, I knew the club's size, so that pressure would be there. I came knowing that, and I hope to do my best to ensure Flamengo always wins."

Contact Paulo Sousa

Saints:
"The coach welcomed me very warmly. He's been sharing his work philosophy. I hope to contribute significantly to making the transition a natural one. Only one player will play; the best prepared will earn it. The coach will be the one to decide."

Wear the Holy Mantle

Ayrton Lucas:
"A dream come true. Words fail to describe the fans. It's my biggest professional dream; anyone who knows me knows how much of a Flamengo fan I am. I can't wait to be coaching and helping the team."

Game system

Ayrton Lucas:
"It's the system I've been playing. You have to be prepared to play in any formation. I feel good, I have the freedom to attack, but I'm also focused on defense."
