One of Flamengo's top scorers in the Campeonato Carioca, striker Souza hopes to score again in a decisive match. He's eagerly awaiting Sunday's clash against Vasco at the Maracanã stadium.

- "I perform very well in decisive matches. I've always scored goals in important games, both here at Flamengo, and at Goiás and Inter. I hope that on Sunday I can score another important goal and help Flamengo beat Vasco."

Gávea's number nine showed confidence in a good result against his arch-rival.

- "Our team is prepared for this battle. It will be a very tight game, as it is a classic, but the team is training very well, and we hope for another positive result, which guarantees us a place in the final of the Guanabara Cup."
