Wearing the Flamengo shirt is a privilege desired all over the world. Even so, not everyone shares that passion. Bruno Guimarães, of the Brazilian National Team, for example, chose to turn down the Sacred Mantle.
In a video published by ‘Cazé TV’, Bruno Guimarães was asked if he would wear the Flamengo shirt. The midfielder then replied: “No, that one’s a no-go (laughs)”. It is worth noting that the player is a declared Vasco supporter, a historic rival of the Rubro-Negro.
Despite being a regular in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad, Bruno Guimarães was not called up to the Brazilian National Team for this FIFA international window, for friendlies against France and Croatia. That is because the midfielder is recovering from an injury to the hamstring in his left thigh.
Yes! Coach Carlo Ancelotti called up three Flamengo players for this FIFA window. Léo Pereira, in fact, started in the 2-1 loss to France, while Danilo remained on the bench. Finally, Alex Sandro had to be withdrawn from the squad after suffering an injury to his right thigh.
Meanwhile, Flamengo continue preparations to face Red Bull Bragantino on April 2, after the FIFA window. On that occasion, the ball starts rolling at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Estádio Cicero de Souza Marques, for the ninth round of the Brasileirão.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Bragantino through YouTube, the website and social media. However, Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Brasileirão clash.
