The only new addition to the starting lineup for Saturday's match against Náutico at Estádio dos Aflitos will be Toró. With Everton ruled out by the medical department, the number 21 has been given another chance in the first team. A starter at the beginning of the year, Toró guarantees he's ready for the final in Recife.

"I'm ready for this match. It's going to be an important one for Flamengo, and I'm here to help. There's no vanity here at Flamengo. I've always trained hard, dedicated myself, to perform when the coach needs me. I'll approach the match with all possible seriousness to try to seize this opportunity Caio Júnior is giving me. It's always good to return to the team when it's winning. For me, it's a moment of reaffirmation. The group has a lot of quality, and I want to show my potential."

Toró expects a very difficult match against Náutico. According to the player, the condition of the pitch and the pressure exerted by the Náutico fans on the visitors are some of the factors that will make Flamengo's performance in Recife difficult.

"In the Brazilian Championship, there are no easy games or weak teams. We have to give it our all in Recife. It will be a tough match, as Náutico is very difficult to beat playing at Aflitos. The pitch is very uneven, making it very difficult. But a team that wants to be champion can't choose its opponent, its pitch, or its time. We have to go out and do our part. We're in the final stretch, and now it's war. We'll give everything to get this victory."
