Hernane Brocador set to make history with Paraná club Saturday | OneFootball

Hernane Brocador is at Cianorte-PR, which will play the most important match in the club's history this Saturday (06)

This weekend, Brazilian football will find out the four teams that will move up from Series D to the Third Division of the Brasileirão. One of the matches will be between Cianorte-PR and Barra-SC, on Saturday (06), starting at 4pm (Brasília time), at the home of the Santa Catarina team. On the Paraná side, a familiar face from Flamengo: Hernane Brocador.

Cianorte has never played in Series C, so the former Flamengo striker is one game away from making his mark in the club's history. At the moment, the contest is tied, as the teams drew 0-0 in the first leg in Paraná. Despite the 'decision' being away from home, Hernane Brocador does not hide his optimism for the club's unprecedented promotion.

– We are going to the long-dreamed game which is the promotion game. I believe everything will work out. I will have something extra in my career. I said I would come to win the promotion, but once you achieve this first step, you go for more. Titles and promotions always enhance the athlete —, said Hernane, 39, to GE/PR.

HOW IS HERNANE AT CIANORTE?

Signed by Cianorte mid-year, Hernane has nine games and one goal. The trend is for Brocador to start the quarterfinals of Series D on the bench. Used to shining in big clubs, especially in Flamengo, the striker understands the moment of his career and respects the decision of coach Rafael Ferro.

– Ferro has made it very clear that if he sees something, to pass it on to him, to help. It's his first job, he won't always get it right, he's also subject to error. We always want to be playing, helping, but we know the importance of having a player with a lot of experience in the squad, who will be a mirror for the younger ones –, commented the striker.

WHAT DID HERNANE WIN AT FLAMENGO?

Hernane also assures that he plans to retire in 2026 and is already studying to be a football coach in the future. While it's not time to hang up his boots, Brocador 'plays a movie' of everything he has achieved on the field. However, despite having worn several shirts, the center forward is in the history of Flamengo, where he won the Brazil Cup 2013 and the Carioca 2014. With the Sacred Mantle, there were 86 games and 45 goals.
