Respect exists. The numbers are in the opponent's favor, and it's certain that the match against Atlético-PR won't be easy. Flamengo's players know this and praise their rival for this Sunday's (August 22.08) match at Arena da Baixada. However, coach Rogério Lourenço's team hopes to break the 36-year-old streak and beat Furacão on the road.
For Petkovic, the recipe for this isn't complicated: just repeat the good performance the team had in recent training sessions.
"We have the ability to get this victory. We worked really hard during the week, and if we repeat our good performance from training in the game, we'll get the three points," he said.
The player, however, knows that the home team will not let Flamengo return to Rio with three more points in their bag without putting in the effort.
"We know how strong Atlético-PR are. They're a team that lives up to their home advantage, they always have the support of their fans, and it's going to be a tough match, for sure," he added.
