The player is about to complete 200 games with the Manto Sagrado. 

"I feel honored to play 200 games wearing a shirt so renowned in Brazilian football. I'm privileged to be part of Flamengo's history. I'm here to thank the President and everyone at the club for giving me this opportunity. It will be an emotional day filled with history. God willing, we'll win an important title for our fans," said the number 21.
