Flamengo's number 26, Zé Roberto, a regular starter, praised the quality of his attacking partner, Adriano. For Zé, the Emperor is a unique player who can decide a match at any moment and will be a significant asset to the Flamengo team in this final stretch of the Brazilian Championship.

"I'm happy to play alongside a player of Adriano's caliber. He's a great striker and has already decided many matches for us in this championship. I'm sure he'll be very important in these last three games. I dream of winning this title alongside him. It would certainly be special."
