Number 9 Souza returns to the Flamengo squad this Saturday against Internacional at Maracanã. Having not scored in eight matches, the striker hopes to find the net again in front of the Flamengo fans.

"I've always made it clear that I wasn't scoring goals, but I've been playing well, so much so that I'm still a starter. I really need to get back to scoring goals, and I'll fight for that to happen tomorrow. I'm upset, hurt, and I want to score goals. I'm hoping the ball comes my way tomorrow so I can help Flamengo win."

For the player, his positioning on the field also contributes to the lack of goals.

-“I got used to leaving the area more with Joel, but I'm going to try to stay more regular now to take advantage of the opportunities I get."
