Evertton Araújo is a substitute in the current Flamengo team of Filipe Luís

The Flamengo has experienced players to play as midfielders, such as Jorginho, Saúl Ñíguez, Erick Pulgar, and Nicolás de la Cruz. Thus, the young Evertton Araújo commented on how he has been taking advantage of the moment to seek space in the team led by Filipe Luís.

— First of all, I thank God for the opportunity to be on the field again, and I am very happy. We work every day and give our best in training to earn opportunities and perform well on the field —, began Evertton Araújo.

— There are big names in the position and the competition is very high, but we cannot let that bring us down. It's important to try to learn as much as possible from them, as they are experienced players who have been through everything in football. I try to make the most of it, play alongside them, and learn more and more, so that when the opportunity arises, I am ready to perform —, he concluded.

HOW IS THE COMPETITION AT FLAMENGO?

Erick Pulgar had been injured since the Club World Cup in June, in the United States. The Chilean midfielder recovered from the injury and returned to play after almost four months in the club's medical department.

On the other hand, Filipe Luís has frequently used the duo Jorginho and Saúl Ñíguez. Both midfielders, with vast experience in Europe, have won over the Flamengo fans and continue to be key players for the team.
