De La Cruz urges Flamengo player to leave: "Go far away" | OneFootball

What did the singer De La Cruz say about Flamengo's ‘namesake’?

De La Cruz is a midfielder who plays for Flamengo. However, a singer from Rio, who is a fan of Vasco, is known by the same name as the number 18 of Mengão. In an attempt to end this ‘confusion’, the musician, in a lighthearted manner, asked for Nico to leave the Rubro-Negro.

— Crazy for him to leave. The guy talked about his knee, and I said: “hope he goes far away”. When he was at River Plate (ARG), I already knew. This guy is going to come to Flamengo and my life is going to be a hassle -, he stated, before concluding:

— Why didn’t he go to Arabia? (laughs). Once they sent me to try to hire Darwin Nunes for Flamengo. They tag me all the time on Twitter. Biggest slacker, dude -, concluded the singer De La Cruz in an interview with ‘Charla Podcast’.

HOW IS DE LA CRUZ'S SITUATION AT FLAMENGO?

Jokes aside from the singer, De La Cruz has been with Flamengo since last season, when the club purchased the player's economic rights from River Plate (ARG). Throughout this period, the number 18 of Mengão has experienced ups and downs.

Currently, Nico is looking to have a sequence of games again for Flamengo. This is because the Uruguayan returned to be available only at the final stretch of the Club World Cup, as he was dealing with a knee injury.

DOES DE LA CRUZ HAVE A CHANCE TO START IN FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME?

In Flamengo's last game before the FIFA Date, De La Cruz started in place of Jorginho, who is dealing with a thigh discomfort. Therefore, with the Italo-Brazilian still recovering from pain, the tendency is for the Uruguayan to form a midfield duo alongside Saúl Ñíguez.
