Seize this opportunity as if it were the last of his professional career. It's with this eagerness that defender Rodrigo Arroz (pictured in white) promises to take the field this Wednesday against Figueirense in the 24th round of the Brazilian Championship.

"I've been waiting for a chance like this for a long time. The timing isn't right, but you can't choose when to come on. I want to seize this opportunity as if it were my last, especially since I don't know when I'll get another," said the defender, who has no problem playing alongside young Thiago Salles for the first time.

"It will be the first time we'll play together and we haven't had time to train during the week, but we have some connection because we normally train together in the reserve team. I don't think we'll have any problems."
