Flamengo's next match is another decisive one for the red-and-black team in the Brazilian Championship. Coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo's team faces Cruzeiro in Volta Redonda, and the players know the importance of achieving a positive result against the Minas Gerais team.
Defender Welinton, one of the youngest in the group, knows that this is the time for total concentration on the match. Therefore, he believes that bringing forward the trip to the Steel City was crucial. He urges total focus on the match against Raposa.
"It's a very important game, just like the one against Guarani. We have to be fully focused on this game because we have to win the three points. We have to be alert, we can't make any mistakes. The possibility is real. We can't let that happen," he said.
The defender is also wary of Cruzeiro's key player in the competition, Montillo, a longtime acquaintance of the Flamengo fans. But he warns that Flamengo shouldn't just be wary of the opposing number 10.
"It's not just Montillo. Cruzeiro's squad is made up of great players who can decide the game at any moment. We have to be prepared for that," he added.
