The Flamengo team has certainly not lacked the will to win in the Brazilian Championship. Especially in recent rounds, after the arrival of coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo. And to gain even more motivation, the Flamengo players know they need a victory on Sunday against Vasco at the Engenhão stadium. Besides being crucial for the team to climb the standings, the game also has a psychological aspect that the players hope to use positively.
Goalkeeper Marcelo Lomba, who gave a press conference after this morning's training session at Ninho do Urubu, believes that the match can further strengthen the team that emerges victorious. Aware of all the expectations surrounding a Flamengo vs. Vasco game, he is motivated to leave Engenhão with three points.
"It's a big classic on Sunday. It's an important game for both teams. Whoever wins will come out stronger. It's a game that the fans start talking about from the beginning of the week. It generates good expectations. Especially because it's at Engenhão. A new stadium and I'm sure it will be a great match," he said.
The number 29 also took the opportunity to join the other players in praising the newly arrived coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo. Encouraged by Luxa's "winning spirit," the goalkeeper says he is learning a lot in this short time working with the coach.
"What impresses me most is his winning philosophy, which he's already discussed with everyone. He explained that we have to maintain an average of at least 80% accuracy to achieve victories. There's pressure, but he manages to motivate the players. His talks are very good. I take everything he says even outside of football. I learn a lot from him," he concluded.
