In a calm manner, the Flamengo number 11 expressed satisfaction with the goal. "I was happy. I received the ball on the edge of the area, I've been working on my shots all week and I made that choice. Thank God I got it right," said the Argentinian, who still sees room for improvement in the team, emphasizing that there are still steps to be taken to reach peak physical condition. "We have a plan that has been defined since the beginning of the season. Two friendly matches, for training, and now that the Carioca Championship has started, we are still preparing. Our goal is to reach peak physical condition for the entire season," he added.

The next red-black commitment, now for the debut in the First League Cup, will be on Wednesday (08) against the Grêmio team. The match will be played at the Mané Garrincha Stadium, in Brasília, with the ball rolling from 19:30 pm.
