Flamengo and Mirassol drew 3-3 this Saturday (06) in the last round of the Brasileirão

While the main team traveled to Qatar, Michael stayed in Brazil to help Flamengo's Under-20 team conclude the Brasileirão. The forward opened up about his future with the club after the draw with Mirassol this Saturday (06) at Maião.

— Man, I have a contract. My contract is valid until 2028. I am an athlete of the club, you know? And I work my a** off every day, I train. Even when I'm not playing, I try to bring joy, I try to bring a bit of friendliness with people -, highlighted Michael to add that:

— Of course there will be moments... we will feel [sad] because I'm not playing. That's normal. I really wanted to be playing, but I also respect my colleagues, I respect my coach's opinion. But what I can do is work -, he pointed out on the sidelines.

Does Michael want to leave Flamengo?

— And if Flamengo wants me to stay here, I'm here to work. But if the club's will [is] significantly different, I'm also here to contribute in whatever way I can -, stated Michael.

Did the forward participate in any goals?

Flamengo and Mirassol ended 3-3 without direct participation from Michael. The forward had a chance face-to-face with goalkeeper Walter but shot at the keeper. The goals for Flamengo at Maião came from Douglas Telles and twice from Guilherme Gomes.

Thus, Flamengo played the 38th round of the Brasileirão with an alternative team. This is because Michael was among the Under-20 players at the Maião Stadium, in the interior of São Paulo.

Where is the main squad?

Michael, Everton Araujo, Wallace Yan, and Dyogo Alves travel this Sunday (07) to join the main squad of Flamengo in Qatar. In Doha, the team will be available to play in the Intercontinental starting Wednesday (10).
