Samuel Lino arrived at Flamengo last month and has already won over the red-black fans due to his good performances on the field. After the 2-0 victory over Internacional last Wednesday (20), the striker commented on his adaptation to Mengão. He stated that he still needs to evolve and that, when he is ready, he will give even more joy to the Nation.
— I'm adapting well to the club and my teammates. It's not easy, because sometimes you play with one player, sometimes with another, who is not yet accustomed. For example, Juninho is a player on our squad with whom I haven't played much —, began Samuel Lino.
— And it's not even been a month. I think I'm adapting well. It's not to make excuses, but I'm happy. The people have been helping me a lot, and the game scheme also helps. I think there's still a lot to happen and an even better performance when I fully adapt. When everything is in place and I feel comfortable here, I believe things will get even better —, concluded the Flamengo player.
Samuel Lino has become a starter and key player for Filipe Luís at Flamengo. Since arriving at the red-black team, the striker has participated in seven games. In this period, he gave an assist, to Léo Pereira, in the 2-1 victory over Mirassol at Maracanã.
Flamengo remains alive in two fronts in the current season. After the 2-0 victory over Internacional last Wednesday (20), the red-black team advanced to the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores, where they will face Estudiantes (ARG). In addition, Mengão is the leader of the Brazilian Championship.
Thus, with Samuel Lino available, Flamengo prepares for the next challenges of the season. The Most Beloved faces Vitória on Monday (25), at 21h (Brasília time), at Maracanã, in a match valid for the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship.
