in the world.

However, the Brazilian forward is yet to make his debut for the Russian outfit since making a big move from Brazil.
Despite playing most of the matches for his country and his former club on the wing, Mauricio, who scored seven goals during his two-year career at Flamengo, says that he can also play as a lone striker.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mauricio-c24899 insisted that he wants to help the newly promoted Russian side by scoring 15 to 16 goals during the ongoing season. He assured the fans of displaying quality football in the coming years.
"http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Flamengo-c39361 received offers from two clubs: Shakhtar and Porto. Alania came to me lately and I decided to join the ambitious club. I knew nothing about Alania in the past but I just looked up information on the Internet. I learned
that Alania is a team with a rich history, which became the champion of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991 in 1995.”
“I'm glad to be part of such a big club but strikers are always judged by the number of goals they score. So, I hope to score 15-16 goals this season.” The Brazilian national was quoted as saying.
Mauricio went on to tell that former CSKA Moscow striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vagner-c35793 Love, helped him in making a move to Russia.
