Val Baiano hopes to shine again in Volta Redonda.
The striker scored his first goal for the club at the Raulino de Oliveira stadium, where he will play again on Sunday.
By From the official website team - inThe bus trip from Rio de Janeiro to Volta Redonda takes about three hours. During this time, each Flamengo player finds a way to pass the time: music, internet, sleep, conversations, cards... But this Friday (November 05.11th), one of them, in particular, will certainly be taking a different kind of trip. It's striker Val Baiano.
After all, it was in the Steel City that the number 9 scored his first goal wearing the Flamengo jersey, in the victory over Atlético-GO, precisely in coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo's debut. Confident that lightning can strike twice in the same place, Val hopes to shine again at the Estádio da Cidadania.
"Volta Redonda stadium usually brings good luck to strikers, right? I did very well there last time, thank God I managed to score my first goal for Flamengo, and then things started to turn around. Hopefully, that can happen again and I can help the team achieve another positive result," he said.
The striker, who has been on the bench in recent matches, knows that the fight for a starting position with the "3D Attack" is very close and says he is ready to help the team when the opportunity arises.
"Nothing is easy in my life, but God knows best. I was doing well with the team, I got injured and lost my position. It happens. The most important thing is knowing how to deal with it. We know that difficulties exist, all the strikers work hard to make sure everything goes well, and I hope the goals will return on Sunday," he concluded.
