After scoring twice in the 5-0 victory over Figueirense, striker Souza hopes to maintain his good goal average in the match Saturday, at 16:10 pm, against São Paulo.

"A striker thrives on goals. It's always good to be able to score. It gives you peace of mind to work. I hope to do more on Saturday and help Flamengo secure another victory."

The number 9 wants the red-and-black team to put pressure on the São Paulo team from the opening minutes. Souza demands dedication, as the opponent is very dangerous.

"We have to suffocate São Paulo. A victory at Maracanã will be crucial, because they're also fighting for the title. If we enter with determination and determination, we have everything we need to emerge victorious. Winning at home is essential for anyone aiming for a title."
