Accustomed to regional competitions from his time in Minas Gerais and Porto Alegre, supporter Marcinho can't hide his excitement for tomorrow's derby against Vasco, his first in the red-and-black jersey. Even though he doesn't yet know if he'll start the match, he knows the decisive nature of the match will further motivate Flamengo and its fans. "I've been to several regional derbies, but there's no denying that Flamengo and Vasco are a different kind of match. I've followed this rivalry since I was a kid, and now I have the chance to be part of it. I can't hide my excitement," Marcinho stated. "The possibility of starting the match among the reserves is something that doesn't even remotely discourage him." "Being in a group like Flamengo's is already a source of satisfaction for any player. My concern is being able to contribute, whether starting as a starter or coming on as a substitute," he commented. After the recreational training session, coach Joel Santana had all the players practice penalty kicks. Defender Fábio Luciano, who had the flu, stayed in the training camp, but is not a concern for tomorrow's derby.
