The striker said goodbye to his teammates today and will report to Toca da Raposa this afternoon. Roni was very happy with Cruzeiro's offer and also with Flamengo's attitude, which, according to the player himself, was very respectful towards him. Roni's time at Flamengo lasted five months. During that time, the striker added to his list of titles, winning a Campeonato Carioca and a Taça Guanabara. He played 21 games and scored just three goals. The player was happy with his time with the red-and-black club.

"Some balls could have gone in, that would have helped a lot. I've always been very committed in training and matches, there was no lack of desire. I think my work at Flamengo was positive, despite the criticism. In recent games, the fans, who are wonderful, haven't been as harsh on me. That made me happy," the player stated.

Roni is in perfect physical condition and promises to be a smash hit in the Brazilian league. The striker also stated that he greatly respects Flamengo fans and doesn't know if he would celebrate a goal against Flamengo.
