Douglas Telles experienced an unforgettable night at the Arena de Pernambuco. That’s because, this Saturday (15), the 18-year-old forward came on and, with his very first touch, scored in Flamengo’s rout over Sport. In a post-match interview, the homegrown talent couldn’t contain his emotion when talking about his achievement with the Sacred Mantle.
— What I’m feeling right now, there’s no way to explain it. It’s a feeling of personal fulfillment, for my family and my mother. To be able to score today, on Flamengo’s anniversary, will be unforgettable for me. The jersey speaks for itself, now it’s about not stopping here and moving forward -, said Douglas Telles.
The forward started the game as one of the options on the bench for the attack. In the second half, Douglas got his chance and, taking advantage of a play by Everton Cebolinha, tapped the ball into the net, scoring the fifth goal for Mengão against Sport.
It’s important to note that Douglas Telles has been training with the professionals in recent weeks. The forward was even part of the squad that traveled for the match against Fortaleza, but ended up not being used.
This Saturday (15), the forward, who has a release clause of R$ 300 million, seized the opportunity and sealed Flamengo’s 5-0 victory over Sport at the Arena de Pernambuco.
With Douglas Telles available, Flamengo will take the field on Wednesday (19) to face Fluminense, for the 34th round of the Brasileirão. In short, the ball will roll for the classic at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã. Finally, Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will show the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media.
