Motivation. This is the word that can make all the difference in a team's comeback after a difficult situation. And if it's up to Renato, Flamengo will achieve new positive results in the Brasileirão and make a similar comeback to last year. The midfielder still laments the comeback loss to Guarani, but warns that the team will not falter again and expresses confidence in a recovery.

"There's no explanation. I even commented on it at home and with other players. In 90 minutes, the victory was ours. We were going to climb the table, but four minutes later, we lost. In stoppage time. But this can't get us down, and it won't happen twice in a row. We're in a delicate moment, three games without a win, and we need to improve," he said.

The player believes that the arrival of new coach Silas will further boost motivation. After all, with new leadership, even players who haven't been playing well will want to prove themselves in search of more opportunities.

"Silas arrived, and perhaps those who were unmotivated will be motivated now. The group is good, with quality players, and his arrival can give us more motivation. The group is large, and some are unmotivated, with no prospect of playing, but Silas knows our ability, and so do we," explained the number 11, who identifies with the club and relies on tradition to overcome difficulties.

"Cruzeiro is going through a very good moment, but Flamengo embraces difficult situations and now it will be no different," he concluded.
