DID IT GO VIRAL?

Thus, after the video was released, Flamengo fans stirred up Giulia Arruda’s Instagram. That’s because some Flamengo supporters posted photos and messages mentioning Gonzalo Plata in the influencer’s posts.

ACTIVE OFF THE FIELD?

Gonzalo Plata has already made headlines off the pitch recently at Flamengo. That’s because the Ecuadorian forward threw a party in January when he moved houses in Barra da Tijuca, in Rio de Janeiro’s West Zone.

Soon after, Gonzalo Plata was at Camarote Rio, enjoying Rio de Janeiro’s Carnival during the Special Group samba school parade. Finally, alongside the Ecuadorian, Léo Pereira, Erick Pulgar, and Carrascal were also present.

With Gonzalo Plata available, Flamengo is preparing for the rest of the season. O Mais Querido faces Remo on Thursday (19th), at 8 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã, in a match valid for the seventh round of the Brazilian Championship.
