Toró only wants to play when he's 100%
The midfielder believes he will be in his best playing condition in the match against Ceará.
By From the team at Flamengo's official website - inWith Correa's suspension, coach Rogério Lourenço will have several options to analyze and decide who to start in next Sunday's (August 08.08) game against Corinthians at Pacaembu Stadium. However, one of them will only be available next weekend: midfielder Toró, who is undergoing physical training to regain his best form.
Still worried about an arm injury and working to lose a few extra pounds, Toró only wants to play when he's at his best, as he knows the great responsibility he has when wearing the Flamengo shirt.
"To play for a club like Flamengo, I believe you have to be 100%, and I'm not. I'm still a little worried about my hand; I'm a little outside my ideal physical condition, and I've had a conversation with the coaching staff about it. I should be ready for the game against Ceará," said the number 5, who praised his teammates who can play in his position.
"I'm sure whoever comes in will rise to the occasion. The team has a lot of options and Rogério will put together the best for Flamengo," he added.
According to Toninho Oliveira, Toró could be in good condition to play in the match against Ceará on the 14th (Saturday), at Maracanã.
"Toró's percentage is still a little higher, but he's working well, he's improving and, perhaps, he'll be ready against Ceará," he concluded.
