Volta Redonda (RJ) - With Jean and Ronaldo Angelim absent, a spot in the red-and-black defense opened up for young Welinton. The 23-year-old defender has been performing well this season and has also demonstrated his ability to play with a lucky charm. However, all this success now needs to be put to the test again. After all, he's being coached by a new coach, Vanderlei Luxemburgo.

\

"We train hard so that everything goes well when the game comes. For example, he gave me the opportunity to start a match, and I hope to establish myself. It's always good to start with a new coach. I hope this is my moment."

\

The defender already endorses the new manager's speech that work is the best response to possible criticism of the Rubro-Negro's current performance.

\

"It's a good opportunity, with a new coach, and I'm motivated. I'm returning at a time when the team isn't doing well in the competition but has everything it needs to grow, and I hope to grow alongside Flamengo. There's not much to say about doing well; it's about hard work and dedication," said Welinton, who took the opportunity to say that the group's atmosphere is the best possible to lift Flamengo out of 15th place.

\

"I hope that with this opportunity, the coach can get to know me better and see me play. I have everything I need to grow with him. Everyone wants to improve, and the atmosphere is good with Vanderlei's arrival. The atmosphere is very happy and positive," he concluded.
