Flamengo boosted for Fluminense clash in the Carioca | OneFootball

What was preventing Andrew from debuting for Flamengo?

By: Rodrigo Lima

Flamengo gained a reinforcement for the next game in the Carioca. This is because goalkeeper Andrew had his name regularized in the BIRA of the Rio de Janeiro State Football Federation (FERJ) and, with that, can debut against Fluminense on Sunday (25), at Maracanã.

The delay in Andrew's registration in BIRA occurred because Flamengo couldn't obtain the goalkeeper's documentation before the Rio de Janeiro city holiday, which took place on Tuesday (20). As a result, even though he was regularized in the CBF's Daily Information Bulletin, the goalkeeper couldn't take the field against Vasco on Wednesday (21).

Even though he was out of the 'Clássico dos Milhões', Andrew was present at Maracanã and was introduced to the Flamengo fans before the game started. The ceremony took place during the warm-up of the red-black players on the Maracanã field.

HOW HAS ANDREW'S START BEEN AT FLAMENGO?

Andrew was the second reinforcement announced by Flamengo in this transfer window. The goalkeeper arrived to compete for a position with Rossi, who has been the absolute starter in the role in recent seasons.

It is important to note that Andrew was playing for Gil Vicente (POR), with the European season in full swing. Thus, the goalkeeper presented himself in full physical condition and is ready to debut for Flamengo.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME IN THE CARIOCA?

With Andrew available, Flamengo faces Fluminense in a match valid for the fourth round of the Carioca. In summary, the game kicks off at 6 PM (Brasília time) this Sunday (25) at Maracanã. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV shows the details of the match with the most red-black coverage on the internet on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media.
