"Zica" ends and now "it's just a matter of taking off"
Players show confidence in scoring more goals in the next rounds
By From the team at Flamengo's official website - in
With their comeback victory over Prudente in the final minutes of last Wednesday's game, Flamengo's players believe their luck has finally changed. While the Flamengo players complained that this was lacking at times in recent rounds, when they suffered a similar comeback against Prudente (in the duel with Guarani in Campinas), now is the time to regain confidence and focus on taking off.
Especially for the forwards. Now that Diego Maurício is scoring again, the other players in that position are also hoping to find the net soon.
"We weren't lacking in composure. We worked every day to get on the field and score goals, but they weren't coming. But that's over. Now it's time to take off. Me, Deivid, Diogo, Leandro (Amaral), and Borja. Marquinhos is also working hard. Let's hope everyone can get on the field, score goals, and bring joy to the red-and-black nation," said Diego, who didn't hide his eagerness to score again.
"This period was tense, difficult. I kept thinking that it wasn't possible for a team of Flamengo's stature to go so many games without a win. I'm happy that everything worked out. I hope things can go as smoothly as possible from now on," he said.
The striker reveals that he always dreamed of this opportunity and that he is delighted with the good moment he is experiencing with the first team.
"I'm very happy. Thank God I managed to score that goal. We've put an end to this bad luck and we're going to try to have a good time with the club. When I scored, my head was racing, I was thinking about so many things, remembering my friends and everything. I didn't even know how to celebrate. I dreamed of being on the professional team, of playing for Flamengo, and I worked for it. Now, I'm here and we're going to try to put an end to this bad streak," he concluded.
