The new addition to Flamengo is ready to take the field with the Sacred Mantle. This is because Andrew's name appeared in the CBF's Daily Information Bulletin (BID) this Tuesday (20th).
Flamengo offered 1.5 million euros (approximately R$ 9.4 million) + 10% of a future sale for Andrew's immediate release. The Portuguese club, therefore, accepted the offer and released the goalkeeper to sign with the Rubro-Negro.
As the new goalkeeper of Flamengo, Andrew will wear jersey number 42. This is because the goalkeeper sees the number as a way to honor his father, who passed away at the age of 42. It is worth noting that the player has always requested to use this number in his career.
Initially, Andrew arrives at Flamengo to compete for a spot in the starting lineup with Rossi. The Argentine is considered the starter by the coaching staff. However, performances on the field throughout the season will be decisive for Filipe Luís to decide who will be the main goalkeeper for Rubro-Negro.
No! According to the report from Coluna do Fla, Flamengo was unable to register Andrew's name in BIRA in time. This is because Tuesday (20th) is a holiday in Rio de Janeiro. Therefore, the goalkeeper cannot yet be included for the classic match against Vasco.
Without Andrew, Flamengo will take the field against Vasco this Wednesday (21st) at 9:30 PM (Brasilia time), for the third round of the Campeonato Carioca. The match will be held at Maracanã, and fans can follow all the action through the coverage of Coluna do Fla.
