While Flamengo plays at home this Wednesday (22), with the support of the in-person fans, Racing (ARG) counts on the good vibes of Rodrigo De Paul. The world champion midfielder for Argentina sent a message to the club that discovered him.
— I will give my all tomorrow against Flamengo. The guys are used to playing this type of match. They will know how to play, the important thing is that they do it with heart -, stated De Paul.
The Inter Miami (USA) midfielder debuted for Racing's professional team in 2013. However, the club soon sold him to Valencia (ESP), where he caught the attention of Atlético de Madrid (ESP).
Then, Messi's loyal companion joined the Argentine National Team, where he participated in the 2022 World Cup campaign. De Paul, however, seems not to have forgotten where he came from and who he supports.
While De Paul prepares for Major League Soccer (MLS), the Flamengo fans fill Maracanã. The Red-Black Nation sold out all the tickets for the match against Racing.
In anticipation of thwarting De Paul, Flamengo continues its preparation to face Racing (ARG) this Wednesday (22). The match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the first leg of the Libertadores semifinal.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website, and social media. Globo (open channel) and GE TV (YouTube) will broadcast the clash between Flamengo and Racing.
