Showing great confidence, the Flamengo striker guarantees: “I'm dreaming about this goal and I know it will come when Flamengo needs it most.”

Striker Obina hopes to end his goal drought in the Campeonato Carioca on Saturday, when the red-and-black team faces Resende at 16 p.m. at the Maracanã stadium in a Guanabara Cup semifinal match. Always crucial in decisive moments for Flamengo, the number 18 dreams of a goal that will put the red-and-black team in the final.

"I dream about that goal every day. I'm working hard, dedicating myself, so it can happen soon. I know it will happen when Flamengo needs it most. I admit I'm going through a difficult period, but I'm sure I'll bounce back. It's been like that a few times here at Flamengo. I hope to decide a match once again."

Obina revealed that he had a very productive conversation with coach Cuca.

"I had a good conversation with Cuca. He asked me what was going on, and I told him it was just a bad phase, but it would pass. I'm having the support of Cuca and my teammates, which is very important during this difficult time."
