See the main excerpts:
On the possibility of starting against Atlético-MG
I don't know what coach Zé Ricardo's decision will be, but I'll be available to start the match. We know the pressure of playing for a club like Flamengo. I have to stay focused in training, and whenever called upon, I need to give my best on the field.
Zé Ricardo will be absent from the next match
During the game against Corinthians, I think Zé's sending-off affected us, as we were already in the mood for the game. But for the next match, I'm sure Coach Jayme will be at ease. It's always worth remembering that, with him in charge, we won the club's last two titles. He's also very intelligent and will certainly do a good job.
Defensive players scoring lots of goals
I always try to focus on the collective aspect of the game. Our defenders are scoring a lot of goals and going forward, and our forwards always help the defense. Regardless of who scores, the important thing is that we get the wins. We need to be focused so that, when the opportunity arises, we have the composure to score.
First season as a professional
I've played a few matches, including scoring goals, and I'm trying to stay confident. The group has embraced me and believes in my potential. This makes me feel comfortable and allows me to evolve. Everything is very different. Until January, I was competing in the São Paulo Junior Cup. Now I'm here on the main team. All of this is very important, but I can't stop here. I try to keep thinking about my future so I can enjoy my best form.
