After Flamengo's qualification over Internacional in the Libertadores last Wednesday (20), the Spanish Saúl confessed in the mixed zone that he still needs to resolve some issues to truly feel "at home". However, the midfielder affirmed that he is already working on the solution and revealed that he is receiving help from the Rubro-Negro.
— There is still a long way to go, because I really don't have a home, I don't have a school for my children, my wife is pregnant. I still have a lot of work to do before I feel at home and adapt 100%, but I am working on it. The club is helping me in this sense to try to adapt as quickly as possible -, confessed the midfielder.
Part of Saúl's career was between Spain and England and, therefore, Wednesday's game marked the Spanish player's debut in the Libertadores. However, the midfielder was not scared and stood out in Flamengo's midfield, which gave the team peace of mind to make 2-0 at Beira-Rio.
Saúl was officially announced as a reinforcement for Flamengo on July 23. The 30-year-old midfielder, who belonged to Atlético de Madrid (ESP), played for Sevilla (ESP) last season, on loan. The Spaniard signed a three-year contract with the rubro-negro club and has already played five matches.
With Saúl available, Flamengo takes the field next Monday (25), against Vitória, at Maracanã, starting at 9pm (Brasília time), for the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship. Then, the Coluna do Fla brings all the information before and after the clash.
