– Yesterday I was talking with the club's physiotherapist Marcio Puglia. I think the most accurate word to describe me is that I am a very enlightened man, thank God. In the last game, the final game, scoring a goal like that, a 0-0 game, we were pressing all the time… When the ball came from Ayrton (Lucas), I just tried to look at the goal until the end.

This is Bruno Henrique's 88th goal and his twelfth title in the red and black jersey. The striker, one of the most senior members of the team, also took the opportunity to welcome and praise midfielder Carlinhos, who was from runner-up Nova Iguaçu and was recruited by the team. Flamingo.

– I wish him good luck, the player who played for his former club, showed quality, strength and height… We already have Pedro as a striker at a very high level, also strong and tall. There is always a need for players like that too, who have the quality to be close and keep the ball.

– Not only him, but congratulations to Nova Iguaçu, who had a great season in Carioca. Getting to the state final is very difficult, I've had great teams that have fallen behind, like Fluminense, Vasco, Botafogo… They did a very good job.
