The Rubro-Negra fans' favorite found the net again this Tuesday. In the tactical training session on a reduced-size pitch held this afternoon in Vargem Grande, the Black Angel of Gávea was the star attraction. He scored three goals and is getting closer to full recovery in his left knee.

"It feels really good. I'm really excited, I want to get back soon. Scoring three goals in training made me really happy, but I really want to score in an official match," he said.

Even with the great performance in training this Tuesday, coach Ney Franco thinks it is unlikely that Obina will face Atlético on 04/07.

"His development is very satisfactory. The coaching staff is thrilled, but he's a player who must be treated with caution. The work is being done jointly by the coaching staff, physiology, and physical conditioning. As soon as there's a consensus among the departments, Obina will take the field, with no set date," said the coach.
