Luiz Henrique has been called up to the Brazil National Team for the World Cup. The player, who is a target for Flamengo, said that every day he visualizes himself scoring in the World Cup final.
— I don’t have a preferred opponent, but I do have the way my goal in the final will happen in my mind. I visualize it every day. My mentor tells me that every day I should wake up, look in the mirror, and say that I’m going to score the goal in the World Cup final — he said, before concluding:
— I’m going to be the best player at the World Cup. So every day I keep visualizing that, so that when that moment comes, I’ll be ready to score that goal and for the Brazil National Team to become champions — he said.
Luiz Henrique currently plays for Zenit (RUS). As such, the Russian club is asking for 50 million euros (R$ 300.5 million at the current exchange rate) to sell the right winger. Flamengo, therefore, is evaluating the possible signing of the forward.
Flamengo came close to signing Luiz Henrique in the 2023 season, when he was still playing for Betis (ESP). However, Botafogo swooped in and completed the signing of the forward. Since then, the Rubro-Negro has not made any offer for the player, but he remains on the club’s list of possible reinforcements.
