Réver: "We have all the conditions to play a good game on Sunday"

Defender gave a press conference in the press room at CT George Helal

After Friday's activity (01), the red-black number 15 spoke to reporters. The defender, who has become a starter since his arrival and has even scored a goal for the team, spoke about the Mais Querido's next match, against Corinthians. Réver also commented on the good performances he has been doing alongside Rafael Vaz, on the return of captain Juan to training and in relation to the work of coach Zé Ricardo.

See the main excerpts:

Match against Corinthians

It's a tough match. I think we're ready to face Corinthians. We're capable of putting in a good performance on Sunday, as we did against Internacional. Flamengo and Corinthians are two giants in Brazilian football, and there's a lot of respect for each other, but when the referee blows the whistle, we'll give our all to get the three points. We know they have a very fast team, especially in midfield and attack. We'll need to be careful with that. Important matches like this require special attention to achieve positive results.

Good moment for the defense

We're thrilled with the recognition and are here to meet expectations. We've been working hard. We know we'll all have opportunities, so it's crucial that we seize them. Juan, who's recovered from injury, is still on the way back. Flamengo stands to gain the most from this healthy internal competition for the position.

Captain Juan returns to training

He's an excellent player, and he's demonstrated that throughout his career. Now we have more and more quality options for the defense. This is a welcome headache for Zé. I'm sure he'll go with whoever is best at the moment, and whoever joins the team will be fully capable of living up to that standard.

Possibility of breaking another taboo in this Brazilian Championship

I think the motivation is already high just because it's a derby. During the match, these writings end up not being used on the field. We focus only on what's happening on the pitch. The goal is to concentrate on the match and achieve a good result.

Work by coach Zé Ricardo

I believe Zé's performance has been favorable. We know that Brazilian football is undergoing a transformation, and he has shown that he has the ability to lead Flamengo, given this more modern style of play. If he becomes permanent, we will be delighted, as he is a person of great character and competence. Given that it's a large team like Flamengo, I believe that his experience here, even at the youth level, is already a valuable one. There's a lot of talk about the modern style of football, and our team is embracing that. We will give him our full support.

Good phase of number 10 Ederson

I believe injuries are the worst moment in any athlete's career. Ederson is turning things around, with the help of the club's medical department. I hope he continues this good work and continues to demonstrate his quality, as we've all seen what he has to offer the team.
