I told him that Flamengo has a European structure, imposes its game, is a big team… Then he told me: “rest assured, I will arrive” -, he said, before concluding:

— We talked a lot when we found out we would be starters against Vasco. He told me we would have a great game and God put this game in our path. Vitão is a unique guy, phenomenal, with incredible ball skills. And at every moment we said that on our side not even the wind could pass -, concluded Royal in an interview in the mixed zone this Wednesday (21st).
