During the World Cup, the Brazilian Championship will be suspended and Flamengo will be working on an off-season. To have some peace of mind during this period, goalkeeper Bruno is hoping for a victory over Goiás, this Saturday (05.060, at 18:30 pm, at Maracanã. The number 1's objective is to keep the red-black team among the four best in the competition, so that, when the return, in July, the team can already start fighting for the top positions.

"Our goal is to finish this part of the Brazilian Championship in the top four. We got a good result against Palmeiras and we know the importance of the victory against Goiás. It also gives us a little more peace of mind to work on this next month, which will be very important," he said.

The goalkeeper and captain of Flamengo believes that this break could be very positive for Flamengo and for coach Rogério Lourenço, who will have time to organize the team before the 'second half' of the championship.

"For Flamengo and all the teams in Brazil, this break will be very good. For us, especially, because Rogério will have a little more time to work and also to adapt the team to his philosophy. He ended up taking over the team managed by another coach and, until now, he hasn't had much time to train," he said.

One of the players with the longest tenure at the club and who is always sought after during this transfer window, Bruno revealed that he has not received any concrete offers and assured that he is only focused on winning the seventh title.

"Of course we're sad about Adriano's departure. We still have the Vagner Love issue, but his continued presence doesn't depend solely on him. It's clear that Flamengo needs reinforcements. There's always a lot of talk about offers mid-year, during the transfer window, but I haven't received anything concrete. If one does, I have people to take care of it. My focus is solely on Flamengo and competing in the Brazilian Championship. I have a long-term contract, I'm happy, I have a life project here, and I don't see any reason to leave," he concluded.

At Gávea since 2007, Bruno has an average of 1,24 goals conceded per match. He has played 233 matches and conceded 289 goals. He also made history at the club with his goals. He now has four. The most recent came in the derby against Fluminense in the Brasileirão.
