Ex-Brazil star dreams of Flamengo move: "Gave me goosebumps"

Flamengo remains the dream of many Brazilian football players

Former Brazilian National Team player, ex-forward Muller had stints with several Brazilian football teams, such as São Paulo, Santos, Cruzeiro, and Palmeiras. Despite this, the idol of the MorumBis team couldn't fulfill one of his career dreams: wearing the Flamengo jersey.

During his participation in the ‘Charla Podcast’, Muller was asked about a club he dreamed of playing for but never had the opportunity. Without hesitation, the forward responded Flamengo without thinking twice. Additionally, the ex-player showered praises on the red-black fans.

What did Muller say?

Flamengo. I had the chance and didn't go. I was playing for Torino in Italy, then someone called me and asked if I would agree to join Flamengo. I said yes, no problem, but then São Paulo came forward, and I prioritized them. This was in '91. I've played several times against Flamengo at Maracanã. There's a song that I find wonderful: ‘O meu Mengão, eu gosto de você, quero cantar ao mundo inteiro a alegria de ser rubro-negro’. When I heard it on the field, it gave me goosebumps, concluded Muller, in an interview with ‘Charla Podcast’.

How is Flamengo doing in the 2025 season?

At the moment, Flamengo is leading the Brazilian Championship, with 47 points. In this period, Filipe Luís's team has accumulated 14 wins, five draws, and only two losses. Following closely, Cruzeiro is in second place with 44 points. However, it's worth noting that both teams have matches left to play in the competition.

Moreover, in the Libertadores, Flamengo is through to the quarter-finals of the competition. In the round of 16, the Most Beloved defeated Internacional 3-0 on aggregate. Now, aiming to reach the semi-finals, the Red-Black will face Estudiantes (ARG) on September 18 and 25.

What is Flamengo's next match?

At the moment, Flamengo is taking advantage of the FIFA Date to prepare for the upcoming commitments of the season. The Most Beloved returns to the field next Sunday (14) to face Juventude, at 4 PM (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. As usual, Coluna do Fla will provide full coverage of the game.
