This Friday (03), right-back Rafinha answered questions sent by the press through FlaTV. Check out the main topics below:

Exclusive broadcast on FlaTV

"We always prepare ourselves to the best of our ability for every game. At this time, without our fans, we're obviously happy to know that Flamengo fans and Brazilian football fans had the opportunity to watch the match against Boavista. It's a great initiative by Flamengo to broadcast the game for all those who missed football."

Caring for Volta Redonda

"I think all the teams that reached the semifinals have quality and are deservedly there. We've watched some of Volta Redonda's games and know they're a very dangerous team, with experienced players who have played for great teams. With great respect, as we do for all teams, our team is prepared for this semifinal, and we'll do our best to avoid surprises."

Polls by Jorge Jesus

"He didn't tell us anything. We know that during transfer season in European football, this type of speculation is normal. For such a qualified and successful coach, who arrived in Brazil winning several titles, it's normal to be on the radar of big clubs. We know that football is dynamic and anything can happen, but we're happy to have him on our side. I welcome this interest; it shows that our work is being done well."

Contract renewal talks

"I still have a contract with Flamengo until the middle of next year. My representatives are already in contact with the club. Talks are ongoing, but we're in no rush. The timing is different now, and we have time to discuss the matter calmly."

Languages ​​used in the field

"The audio from Éverton Silva (from Boavista) was quite funny. He's a player who's played here for Flamengo and other clubs, and we have a lot of respect for him. It was funny that he said that (laughs). Compliments like that are always welcome; it ended up going viral online. We always try to keep our on-field communications well-rehearsed, but our speeches are a state secret. We can't reveal anything (laughs)."
