There couldn't have been a better opponent to mark Vander's return to Flamengo than Fluminense. In 2008, his last year in the club's youth ranks, it was against Fluminense that the defender suffered two significant defeats: in the final of the Campeonato Carioca de Juniores and in the round of 16 of the Taça Octávio Pinto Guimarães. After three seasons of winning numerous titles, Flamengo spent the year without a win in their farewell to that generation.
\
\ Now, this Sunday (19.09), the player has the opportunity to get revenge \ on Fluminense. Flamengo will debut in the Brasileirão sub-23 precisely \ against the tricolor team and Vander can't wait to get on the field to \ help Rubro-Negro to win.
\
"My last game for Flamengo was a defeat to Fluminense, in the OPG round of 16, we lost the 2008 Carioca to them as well in the juniors, so it's a different experience that I'll have. I really want to play, win this game and it's a good opportunity to get revenge for that year," he said.
\
\ The supporter hopes to show his worth in order to fulfill his dream of wearing the Flamengo shirt in the professional team soon.
\
"This is a great opportunity for us. Those who didn't realize their dream of wearing the Flamengo shirt now have the opportunity to jump in, take advantage of the opportunities and do their best to look good," he concluded.
