Vagner Love visits Fla and says: "I hope to return"
Striker is welcomed with a party by former teammates and red-black fans in Gávea
By From the team at Flamengo's official website - inTaking a break from European football due to the weekend of international friendlies, striker Vagner Love traveled to Rio de Janeiro and, as expected, returned to Gávea to see his teammates and ease some of the longing he feels for his beloved club. After a great first half of the year for the red-and-black team, the "Artilheiro do Amor" (Love's Gunner) revealed his expectations of returning to Gávea soon.
\"It's good to see my friends again, to catch up a bit, but I really want to change clothes and train with the teammates I left behind. I hope that in the future I can wear the Flamengo shirt again. I'm happy to be here," he said.
\Flamengo's former number 9 gave his approval to the new red-black attack, formed by Diogo and Deivid, which should debut in Sunday's match (05.09), against Santos, at Maracanã.
\"The attack is in great hands. They're excellent players. I played against Deivid when he was at Fenerbahçe; he's an excellent player, and Diogo too, he's young, and I'm sure this duo will be a big hit here at Flamengo," observed Love, who made no secret of the fact that his heart is filled with affection from fans and former teammates.
\"It's great to receive this affection. It shows that my time here was good, that I'm missed and, God willing, I hope I can repay this affection by returning to Flamengo," he explained.
\The striker is playing for CSKA Moscow and has already found the net again in Russia. He remains in Rio de Janeiro until Monday.
\"I stayed there for five years straight and had no problems adapting. The weather is also good and now we'll see how everything turns out at the end of the championship," he added.
