Danilo is one of the Flamengo players available to Carlo Ancelotti for the World Cup. The Flamengo center back is even preparing to wear the ‘Amarelinha’ for the third time in the world tournament. Thus, the player said he is arriving at the competition in his best mental state.

— Life, right?! The ability to adapt to moments and opportunities. When I started out back then, I imagined I could play in three World Cups, but I was thinking of 2014, 2018, 2022. That would be my most productive age as an athlete, so to speak. I made it to 2026 with a different outlook -, he said, before concluding:

— It has been a wonderful journey. Being able to take part in this third one makes me think about how important time is in life.

I’m arriving in the best mental moment possible to contribute in the position -, concluded Danilo, to ‘GE’.
