De La Cruz urges Flamengo player to leave: "Go far away" | OneFootball

What did singer De La Cruz say about Flamengo's 'namesake'?

De La Cruz is a midfielder who plays for Flamengo. However, a singer from Rio de Janeiro, who is a supporter of Vasco, is known by the same name as the number 18 shirt of Mengão. In an attempt to end this 'confusion', the musician, in a relaxed manner, asked for Nico's departure from the Rubro-Negro.

"I can't wait for him to leave. He mentioned his knee, and I said: 'I hope he goes far away'. When he was at River Plate (ARG), I already knew. This guy is going to come to Flamengo and my life will be a pain," he declared, before concluding:

"Why didn't he go to Arabia? (laughs). Once they sent me to try to sign Darwin Nunes for Flamengo. I get tagged all the time on Twitter. Such a fool, dude," concluded singer De La Cruz in an interview with 'Charla Podcast'.

WHAT IS DE LA CRUZ'S SITUATION AT FLAMENGO?

Jokes aside from the singer, De La Cruz has been at Flamengo since last season, when the club bought the player's economic rights from River Plate (ARG). During this time, the number 18 shirt of Mengão has had ups and downs.

At the moment, Nico is looking to have a run of games again for Flamengo. This is because the Uruguayan only became available again towards the end of the Club World Cup, as he was treating a knee injury.

DOES DE LA CRUZ HAVE A CHANCE TO START IN FLAMENGO'S NEXT MATCH?

In Flamengo's last match before the FIFA date, De La Cruz started in place of Jorginho, who is dealing with discomfort in his thigh. Therefore, with the Italo-Brazilian still recovering from pain, the tendency is for the Uruguayan to form a midfield duo with Saúl Ñíguez.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT MATCH?

With De La Cruz available, Flamengo returns to the field to face Juventude, this Sunday (14), for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. The match kicks off at 4pm (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul. Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, brings the match details, on YouTube. Finally, Amazon Prime (streaming) broadcasts the match.
