Flamengo's Danilo on arriving in Rio after Brazil's World Cup exit | OneFootball

What was Danilo’s arrival in Rio de Janeiro like this Wednesday (08)?

Brazil’s participation in the World Cup came to an end last Sunday (05), when the team lost to Norway in the Round of 16. Given the situation, the players called up by the ‘Seleção’ went their separate ways, and Danilo returned to Rio de Janeiro. With that, Coluna do Fla breaks down the details of the Flamengo defender’s arrival in the ‘Marvelous City’.

Danilo left the United States early on Tuesday (07) on a CBF charter flight. After hours on the plane, Flamengo’s number 13 and other members of the national team arrived in Rio de Janeiro early this Wednesday morning (08).

HOW DID DANILO PERFORM FOR BRAZIL DURING THE WORLD CUP?

Carlo Ancelotti had named him one of his trusted men in Brazil’s squad. Even before the final squad list was announced, the Italian had already confirmed the Flamengo defender’s presence at the World Cup.

In the national team tournament, Danilo experienced both sides of the coin. After Wesley had to be withdrawn due to injury, Ancelotti chose Ibañez at right back for Brazil’s debut against Morocco. However, right after halftime, the coach put number 13 in that position. After that change, the player never left the team again.

As a result, Danilo took part in every one of Brazil’s matches at the World Cup. The defender also played in the wins over Haiti, Scotland and Japan, as well as the defeat to Norway.

WHAT IS DANILO’S PLAN AT FLAMENGO AFTER THE WORLD CUP?

In short, with his duties for Brazil now over, Danilo will be given a few days off. As such, the defender’s presence in the final stretch of Flamengo’s mid-season training camp in Portugal has been ruled out.
