Vagner Love sees no problem in playing as a second striker
Player compares Adriano to Jô, who he classifies as the best attacking partner he has ever had
By From the team at Flamengo's official website - inVagner Love arrived at Flamengo to partner Adriano in the Flamengo attack. Many fans and experts wonder what the Flamengo team's style of play will be like with this duo, after all, both players can play as center forwards, key players in the penalty area. But the striker, signed on loan from CSKA Moscow in Russia, assures that he can also play well as a wide player, as he did for the Russian team alongside Jô.
\And it was precisely with his former CSKA teammate that Love felt most comfortable in a strike partnership in his career. The player even drew a comparison between Jô and Adriano; after all, both play as center forwards, more stationary inside the box, are left-footed, and have skill with their left foot. Vagner says he sees no problem in playing on the flanks and believes the partnership with the Emperor will work well.
\"I adapt easily to this position. He's a stronger player, who plays as a reference, and I can easily drop to the wings. I don't see any problem with that and I think it will work out. I had a very good connection with Jô, for example, who is left-handed, skillful, and plays more as a reference, like Adriano," he analyzed.
\Looking forward to making the "most anticipated debut of your life", and without fear of "curse of the number nine shirt", Vagner Love just wants"debut with the right foot, with the left, with the head... but scoring a goal". Despite this, Flamengo's new striker is aware that he cannot let this anxiety get in the way of his football in this Saturday's game.
\"I'm anxious, yes, but I hope it passes as soon as I get on the field. I know it could hurt me if I let it go to my head, so as soon as the ball starts rolling I'll try to put it aside a little," he added.
