Michael's mission in Flamengo's midfield is simple: to provide the attack with ammunition so that the Emperor and the Love Gunner can put the balls in the back of the net. And in this Thursday's game against Universidad de Chile in Santiago, this mission will be even more important. After all, the team needs to beat the home team by two goals.
Knowing his importance in the match, Michael believes that the team needs to be calm and intelligent if they want to make history and secure a spot in the Copa Libertadores semifinals.
"The result has to happen. We need to go after them very intelligently. We'll need to involve the opponent to get the ball to Love and Adriano. We don't need 20 goals, just two. But if we concede, we'll need to be calm and composed," he said.
The player also takes the opportunity to state that the provocations made by some Chileans and the possible pressure from the fans in the state of Santa Laura will not hinder the red-black team.
"That's not what will motivate us. We're already naturally motivated and have our goal set. In this time of decisive games, these things happen [provocations], but we know how to deal with it," he added.
