Even with qualification for the next stage of the Libertadores guaranteed, striker Souza said after this afternoon's collective training session in Gávea that the red-black team has to approach the game against Coronel Bolognesi very seriously, as they fight for a good position in the table of the South American competition and prepare for the decision of the Campeonato Carioca.

- "We're focused. It will be important to play a good game against Coronel Bolognesi, as we're fighting for a good position in the Libertadores table, which gives us some privileges in the next stages. Furthermore, it will be a good test for the Campeonato Carioca final, against Botafogo or Fluminense."

For the striker, the trip to Granja Comary, next week, will be important for the red-black group.

- "It will be very good for work. At Granja, the group is more united, talks more, and that is important."

Flamengo's number nine spoke a little about his father, who was shot last night in Rio, after an attempted robbery.

- "It was just a scare. He's home now and everything is fine."
