On Sunday afternoon (25), Flamengo defeated Cruzeiro 2-1 in a breathtaking game. Now with 53 points, Rubro-Negro is just one point behind leader Palmeiras and remains in the fight for the top spot. After another solid performance, Pará spoke about his individual form, the team's performance and the suspension of the next Brazilian Championship match.
"I'm happy to be demonstrating my work in the best way possible. I arrived to replace one of Flamengo's greatest idols, Léo Moura. It was a lot of pressure, but I know my potential, I know I can help Flamengo. Working hard, with a lot of humility, the results are showing. Regarding the suspension, no one likes to be sidelined, but I'm sure that against São Paulo, Rodinei will do the job," said the right-back.
