WHAT IS MATHEUS GONÇALVES' SITUATION AT FLAMENGO?

Matheus Gonçalves was close to leaving Flamengo and joining Cruzeiro. At the time, the player's staff had an agreement with Pedro Lourenço, president of the Minas Gerais team, but Flamengo 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 U-20 team. As part of the squad, the athlete excelled in the matches and returned to the professional team.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME?

Even if he is called up for the U-20 World Cup, Matheus Gonçalves is likely to remain available to 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 ball rolls at 6:30 PM (Brasília time), at the Maracanã. Therefore, the Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, shows all the details of the match with the 'in loco' coverage of reporters Leo José and Rodrigo Lima, on YouTube. Finally, Premiere, via pay-per-view, exhibits the duel.
