It wasn't just his two goals that made Vagner Love stand out in Wednesday's match against Caracas FC. It was also his dedication on the field throughout the 90 minutes. The number 9 left the field exhausted, but he found the strength to give interviews and even joke with coach Andrade: "Professor, I don't want to play defensive midfielder anymore," he said.

\

The Love Gunner was highly praised by the club's coach. According to him, Love is giving his all on the field because he wants to. There's no recommendation that he return to scoring.

\

"He's back of his own free will. I'm not asking him to come back, and I think he's a great example. He's very dedicated and has helped the team a lot," he said.

\

Love was pleased with the coach's recognition and the strong performance, but after the match, he also found time to condemn the Caracas fans' actions. The Venezuelans clashed with Flamengo fans and threw numerous objects onto the field.

\

"This is annoying. I'm upset, but unfortunately, in many countries people are still like this. Want to protest? Sing, talk, but not like this," lamented the striker.
