Andreas Pereira to face Flamengo fans for first time vs Palmeiras | OneFootball

Andreas Pereira wore Flamengo’s shirt between 2021 and 2022

The red-and-black fans are preparing for a reunion this Sunday (19), in a match against Palmeiras. A former Flamengo player, Andreas Pereira now wears the shirt of the São Paulo side and will start in the Brasileirão match. The player will also meet the Nation for the first time since returning to Brazil.

Palmeiras completed the signing of Andreas Pereira in the last transfer window, in August. On that occasion, Abel Ferreira’s team shelled out 10 million euros (around R$ 63 million) for the player. Thus, this Sunday (19), the midfielder is preparing to reunite with the Flamengo supporters.

What was Andreas Pereira’s trajectory at Flamengo like?

Andreas Pereira arrived at Flamengo in August 2021, after the club agreed a loan with Manchester United (ENG), but bid farewell to Fla in June 2022. In the meantime, the midfielder played 53 matches with the Sacred Mantle, tallying eight goals and three assists.

However, Andreas Pereira’s stint at Flamengo was marked by the “blunder” in the 2021 Libertadores final. On that occasion, Mengão faced Palmeiras in pursuit of the continental title. After a 1–1 draw in regular time, the midfielder “slipped” and left the ball at Deyverson’s feet, who found the net for the rival in extra time.

When do Flamengo and Palmeiras face off?

With Andreas Pereira among the starters, Flamengo and Palmeiras face each other at 4 p.m. (Brasília time) this Sunday (19). The match takes place at the Maracanã, for the 29th round of the Brazilian Championship.

Thus, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website and social networks. However, Globo (free-to-air), GE TV (YouTube) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Palmeiras match.
