WHAT IS MATHEUS GONÇALVES' Situation LIKE AT FLAMENGO?

Matheus Gonçalves was close to leaving Flamengo to join Cruzeiro. At the time, the player's staff had an agreement with Pedro Lourenço, president of the Minas Gerais team's SAF, but the Rubro-Negro decided not to release the midfielder.

During this period, Matheus Gonçalves did not have many opportunities with Filipe Luís and ended up asking to play for Flamengo's Under-20 team. As part of the squad, the athlete performed well in the matches and returned to the professional team.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME?

Even if he is called up for the Under-20 World Cup, Matheus Gonçalves is likely to remain at the disposal of coach Filipe Luís for the next commitments of the season. Therefore, the midfielder has a chance of being related to the match against Mirassol, for the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship.

The game will take place at 6:30 PM (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. The Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will show all the details of the match with on-site coverage by reporters Leo José and Rodrigo Lima on YouTube. Finally, Premiere will broadcast the match via pay-per-view.
