Two-time Champions League winner and a key player for the French National Team, Eduardo Camavinga became a topic among Flamengo fans this Thursday (22) thanks to Vini Jr. This is because the Real Madrid (ESP) forward posted on Instagram a photo of his teammate wearing the red and black jersey.
Vini published 19 new photos on Instagram and, in one of them, 'randomly', Camavinga appears alone with a Flamengo shirt. Even with images of Real Madrid's number 7 with his girlfriend Virgínia, with a man of the match trophy in the Champions League, and receiving an honor at the Spanish club for reaching 350 matches, the red and black fans dominated the comments.
"We love Camavinga in Mengão!", said one fan. "Camavinga is Mengão", wrote another. "Mengo", typed another. It's worth noting that in the album published by Vini, there's also a photo of the player gaming on a computer wearing a Flamengo shirt.
Without mentioning Camavinga's photo, a Flamengo player commented on Vini's post: Vitão. The defender wrote "7", the number of the forward's jersey. The Ninho graduate and the newly signed defender for Mengão played together in the youth categories of the Brazilian National Teams.
At 23 years old and expected to compete in the next World Cup for France, Camavinga has a market value of 63 million euros, equivalent to R$ 391 million at the current exchange rate. For comparison, Flamengo is attempting to sign Lucas Paquetá for 40 million euros (R$ 248 million), which would become the most expensive acquisition in Brazilian football.
In summary, this is not the first time Camavinga has had a 'connection' with Flamengo. On the eve of the Libertadores final, the player said he would support Mengão. "I'm a fan, a big fan. If Vini goes, I go too. I'm Flamengo, red and black," he commented last November.
