The red-black debut in the Rio Cup, on Wednesday night (21), was a great victory against Madureira by 4 to 0. After the match, right-back Rodinei spoke about the result with the press in the mixed zone of the Nilton Santos stadium. 

"I'm very happy for the opportunity given to Professor Paulo César Carpegiani. We know our group is very qualified, with each player fighting for their position. In the end, it's up to him to decide. The team managed to play a great match and come away with a great result. Now we have to keep working hard, thinking about the derby. Only then will we focus on the long-awaited debut against River," analyzed the full-back.

The Most Beloved returns to the field next Saturday (24), at 17 pm, against Fluminense at Arena Pantanal, in Cuiabá. The match is valid for the second round of the Taça Rio.
