Real Madrid's Brahim Díaz thrilled with gifted Flamengo shirt

Morocco player Díaz received the Sacred Mantle after a 3-0 win over Canada at the World Cup

If you’re not Flamengo, you really wish you were. The one who showed affection for the biggest club in the world was Brahim Díaz, Real Madrid (ESP) player and star of the Morocco national team at the World Cup. This Saturday (04), the athlete received the Sacred Mantle as a gift and didn’t hide his joy.

“I like it (Flamengo). I like everything that comes from Brazil, to be honest. It’s amazing,” said Díaz, who received the Mantle as a gift from the CazéTV reporting team covering the World Cup. The shirt is the 2001 model, remembered for Petkovic’s unforgettable goal that secured the Carioca three-peat against Vasco.

ALL SMILES, DÍAZ?

The gift given to Díaz was delivered minutes after the attacking midfielder helped Morocco qualify for the World Cup quarterfinals. This Saturday (04), the Africans beat Canada 3-0 in Houston, Texas, United States. In the match, the midfielder played a decisive role.

Playing the full 90 minutes, the ‘new rubro-negro’ provided two assists. That makes it four assists at the World Cup. The first one, in fact, came in the opener against Brazil, in a match that ended 1-1. Now, Morocco await France or Paraguay in the next round.

COME BE HAPPY, DÍAZ?

Born in Spain but of Moroccan descent, Díaz chose to represent the African team. Now 26 years old, the player is under contract with Real Madrid until June 2027. However, the figures involved for the athlete are far beyond the reality of Brazilian football.

Brahim Díaz is valued at 35 million euros (around R$ 218 million). If Flamengo were to buy the player for that amount, it would be the second biggest signing in the club’s history, behind only Lucas Paquetá, who cost 42 million euros (around R$ 260 million).

WHAT DOES THE AUTHOR THINK?

— Brahim Díaz has been one of the standout players of the World Cup so far. After his great performance in Saturday’s win over Canada, he reached four assists in the competition. He leads that category, tied with Brazilian Bruno Guimarães. He is a key piece in taking Morocco to the final stretch of the World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada. He would walk into Flamengo’s team —, opined Pedro Paulo Catonho, journalist for Coluna do Fla.
