After training on Tuesday morning (23) at CT George Helal, in Vargem Grande, right-back Pará spoke to journalists in the press room. The focus is completely on the South American at the moment, but the ambition is to win titles in both competitions in dispute, according to the athlete. His good moment in the starting team is earning a lot of praise, and the athlete also commented on them.

See the main excerpts:

Flamengo is a great team and always enters competitions with the title in mind. We're in both competitions to win. Regardless of which team plays tomorrow, the club will be well represented on the field.

I hope we can put in a great performance against Figueirense. They're struggling in the Brasileirão, but it's a different competition now. I'm sure they'll do everything they can to beat us. We need to be fully focused on this match.

I'm certain that Maracanã will be one of the factors that will help us go even further in the two competitions we're currently competing in. Until it returns, we'll continue to operate as we do now in our other stadiums. Every sacrifice is worthwhile. If we win the titles at stake, it will all be worth it. Our focus is entirely on these objectives.

Everyone here believes in my work, from my teammates to the coaching staff. Those who follow me daily know how dedicated I am in training, and I do the same in games. With everyone's support, things end up getting easier. But we keep in mind that we haven't achieved anything yet. I want to win titles with Flamengo.
