The headquarters of the Brazilian Football Confederation will be the center of attention for national sports this Tuesday morning. At 11 a.m., coach Dunga will name the players who will face Ireland in a friendly match on March 2nd at the Emirates Stadium in England. Expectations are high for the possible call-ups of Ronaldinho Gaúcho and Neymar, but at Gávea, three players are also expected to make the squad.

\

The first of them is Emperor Adriano. The top scorer in last year's Brazilian Championship and one of the standouts of Flamengo's sixth national championship, the player is considered by many to be a certainty in the squad. His new strike partner for Flamengo, Vagner Love, started the year strong, scoring numerous goals, and the Gávea fans are also dreaming of a possible call-up. The duo says they've been working towards that goal.

\

"We play for each other. Adriano is a top-notch player, I consider myself a top-notch player, and there's no vanity between us. When we both strive for the same goal, it works," said Vagner Love, whose speech was endorsed by Adriano: "We're always talking, we're together for the same goals, and we know we can help each other. If we continue like this, we can fight for a spot in the World Cup and bring a lot of joy to the fans."

A World Cup winner with the Brazilian national team in 2002, Kleberson was called up again last year, but a shoulder injury prevented him from playing regularly in the Brazilian jersey. Now, back in form at Flamengo, the midfielder is another Flamengo player who could represent Brazil on the 2nd.

\

"I'm not worried about it. If it happens, the call-up will come naturally. It's the result of my work here at the club. My first concern is helping Flamengo win another title. I have to work hard, as I have been doing, go out on the field and play well. That's what matters and what will bring me back to the national team," he stated.
