Delighted to return to Flamengo, striker Obina is the favorite to take over as the starting center forward in the club's debut in the Campeonato Carioca on Sunday against Duque de Caxias. Late Wednesday afternoon, he gave a press conference after training in Porto Feliz, São Paulo state, and discussed his game plan, potential signings, his period without scoring for Flamengo, and much more.

\

Game plan - Andrade's strategy is similar to the one he played in the Brazilian league. I'll play Adriano's role, staying closer to the box and Vinicius getting further forward. If we do what Andrade asked, it will work.

\

Signings - We always welcome new players [Kleber and Vagner Love]. They're important players, with high quality. Each one is fighting for their place, regardless of whether they'll join or not. We're focused and looking to make the most of it. We have good attackers right here.

\

Flamengo vs. Caxias - It's going to be a very important game for my stay. I'm more mature, I know what I can do, and it's a new life. To score goals and win back the fans.

\

Penalties - If there's a penalty and Andrade calls it, I'll take it. At Palmeiras, he was the official penalty taker. You have to have confidence and personality. I'll never shirk responsibility.

\

Transfer Speculation - It does get a little upset. Speculation happens, and you have to be prepared for it. Today, I have to focus on Flamengo and forget about what's going to happen abroad.

\

Goalless streak - The 17 games without scoring were the worst stretch of my career. I'd come home and cry. I didn't know what to do. Fans were losing their patience. What I went through last year won't happen this year.
