David Luiz is Flamengo's New Hope


David Luiz is the new addition to Flamengo! Calm down, fans, the defender is not returning to the Rubro-Negro. The club has signed the defender's namesake, a 14-year-old forward. The young player was at the Wilson Goiano Sports Center, a partner club of the Rubro-Negro in the Midwest.

According to the pages ‘FlaZoeiro’ and ‘FlaBase’, David is a promising player, an area center-forward, who is comfortable finishing with both feet and stands out in aerial play. The athlete's arrival at Flamengo is just another act of the partnership between Mais Querido and Wilson Goiano.
