While there used to be a certain scarcity of options for the position, today Flamengo's attack has several names for coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo to choose from. Deivid, Diego Maurício, Val Baiano, Diogo... Therefore, there is some doubt as to who should start playing in Wednesday's derby against Corinthians at Engenhão.
Midfielder Renato leaves the choice to the coach, but praises Val Baiano and Diogo, who will be available to Luxa after returning from injury. He gives special support to the number 43, who has yet to score a goal in the Flamengo shirt.
"Diogo is working hard and the goal will come at the right time. Val and Deivid have already been through this and managed to score, now they are more relaxed. When we need him, he will break his drought. We are giving him a lot of support because he is a very dedicated player," said the number 11, who praised Val Baiano's return to the team.
"Val is always important. He's a player with a lot of quality, a strong presence in the box, and he knows how to score goals. I'm sure he'll help us. He's in good form right now," he analyzed.
The opponent's attack was also the subject of comments from Renato. After all, the São Paulo team's main hope for goals rests on striker Ronaldo.
"Ronaldo is always a handful on the field. It would be better if he didn't come to Rio de Janeiro to play against us. He's a great player and even overweight he makes a difference. (Ending the centenary) We hope to disrupt Corinthians again," he concluded.
