Flamengo player shares dream of returning to the Brazil national team | OneFootball

Which Flamengo player wants to return to the Brazilian National Team?

Wearing the Flamengo jersey often means a chance to be noticed by the national team. After all, the Rubro-Negro is one of the clubs with the most visibility in world football. Flamengo’s left-back, Ayrton Lucas, revealed that he still dreams of returning to the ‘Amarelinha’ (Brazilian National Team).

— We always have hope, it depends only on me. I need to do my job here. It’s a very difficult position, not only in the Brazilian National Team, but also within the club. There are three players who are national team players, so the competition is very strong — he said, before concluding:

— But it’s about staying calm, everything in God’s time. I’ve been working so that, when the opportunity comes, I’ll be ready. Who knows, maybe in the future — concluded Ayrton Lucas.

Has Ayrton Lucas already been called up?

Ayrton Lucas has already been called up on two occasions for the Brazilian National Team. The left-back wore the ‘Amarelinha’ for the first time in 2023, in friendlies against Guinea and Senegal.

In addition, Ayrton Lucas was called up again in March 2024, when Dorival Júnior was the coach of the Brazilian National Team. On that occasion, the ‘Amarelinha’ played friendlies against England and Spain.

What is Ayrton Lucas’s situation at Flamengo?

It’s worth noting that Ayrton Lucas continues to seek more opportunities at Flamengo. That’s because Alex Sandro is the undisputed starter at left-back alongside Filipe Luís. However, the number 6 has been the coach’s second option for the position.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Ayrton Lucas available, Flamengo remains focused on its next commitment in the Brasileirão. This Saturday (15), Filipe Luís’s team faces Sport at Arena de Pernambuco, at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time), in a rescheduled match from the 12th round of the Brasileirão.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Prime Video (streaming) will broadcast the Sport vs. Flamengo match.
