One of Flamengo's key reinforcements for the second half of the year, midfielder Renato knows he still has a lot of work to do to be at his best. And he's been doing so daily, with the support of the entire coaching staff. Happy with his performance in training and his improvement in both tactical and physical form, the number 11 believes this week is crucial for his return to peak physical form.

After all, next week Flamengo will once again have matches in the middle and at the end of the week, which will leave the squad with less time to work.

"This is a long week, starting next week we will have games on Wednesday and Sunday, so we have to make the most of it to be ready to play every time," said Renato, who praised the work of coach Toninho Oliveira.

"For me, it's even more important than for the other athletes. I want to get in shape, at the same pace as the others, and Professor Toninho deserves congratulations for what he's been doing," he analyzed.

Kindness - At Flamengo training sessions, whether in Gávea or on the beach, the player has become one of the most sought-after by the Flamengo fans. Last Wednesday (August 18.08), he took many photos and signed many autographs for the fans who watched the activity on Barra da Tijuca beach.

"The affection is great and I'm very happy about it. It was the first time I trained on the beach after my return and I'm pleased with this recognition. I have to repay it on the field with positive results," he added.
