Iranildo, who helps manage his son's career, recently commented on a possible return to Laranjeiras and cited “equal opportunities”.
The Baixada Fluminense club is analyzing a possible dismantling after the good performance at Carioca. Goalkeeper Fabrício is close to Internacional and striker Carlinhos closed with Flamengo. “Sometimes, I see some news or another, but all this off-field issues are my responsibility. I think more about the next game, I've always been like that. Now, after the return game, we will sit down and see the best way forward, to be able to have a good sequence of games and continue playing at the level I am at”, he stated. P>
