From starting in the first game of the round of 16 in the Copa do Brasil for adults to being a 'reinforcement' for the under-20 team in the Carioca of the category. The last few weeks for Matheus Gonçalves have been intense, coupled with the fact that the player is being speculated at CSKA (RUS). This Saturday (09), the midfielder will be on the field from 3 pm (Brasília time), at Gávea, for the State Championship, in a Flamengo game against Maricá.
The match will be broadcasted by FlamengoTV, on YouTube, live. Usually, the Mengão uses the Carioca with an alternative team in the initial stages. However, as the team fell in the Brasileirão, the total focus is now on the State Championship. In addition, the match serves as preparation for the Club World Cup.
In 14 days, that is, on August 23, Flamengo faces Barcelona (ESP), for the intercontinental title. The Mengão qualified for the dispute by winning the Libertadores Sub-20. The Spaniards, on the other hand, won the UEFA Youth League, equivalent to the Champions League.
The game is valid for the second round of the Carioca Championship. In the competition's debut, Flamengo beat Portuguesa, by 1 to 0, with a goal from Fabiano. Only Mengão, Vasco, Bangu and Maricá have three points. The Rubro-Negro's opponent later beat Boavista by 2 to 0.
On social media, Matheus Gonçalves made a comment about being 'relegated' to the under-20 team this Saturday (09). The midfielder wrote: "Faith, gang. Happy in the simple. Everyone who can come to Gávea at 3 pm, cheer for our Mengão!", posted the 19-year-old player, who is in the sights of CSKA Moscow for the rest of the season.
