“It was a great match. I was happy to get the opportunity to play my first game here at our home, in front of our fans, and to leave the field with a win against one of the best teams in Brazil. It’s a very important result, one that gives us even more confidence for the rest of the season,” the goalkeeper said.

With the win, Massa Bruta reached 11 points and moved up to 11th place.

Against Flamengo, Volpi has built up good memories. Last year, playing for Grêmio, he was the one who took the penalty that secured a 1-1 draw at the Maracanã. Back in 2020, with São Paulo, he also shone by saving two penalties and even providing an assist for Luciano to seal a 4-1 win in Rio de Janeiro.

“They really are matches I keep in my memory, and fittingly against Flamengo. Now, this one for Bragantino will be another special one, one that will stay with me. I didn’t have that many individual actions, but the team performance worked really well. Everyone gave their all throughout the match, and we managed to turn that performance into a victory. Everyone deserves congratulations,” he added.

Asked about keeping his place in the starting lineup and the possibility of a run in the team, Volpi preferred to value the squad and highlighted the healthy competition with teammate Cleiton.

“Coach Mancini knows the squad very well, and the decision is his. Cleiton is a great teammate, with a wonderful history at the club. I’m doing my job, just like he is. Everyone wants to play, of course, but the club is the one that benefits from this healthy competition, and that’s what matters most,” he concluded.

Bragantino return to the field next Sunday, when they face Mirassol away from home. Then on Thursday, the team begin their Copa Sudamericana campaign against Carabobo in Venezuela.
