Flamengo to give Libertadores, Brasileirão medals to 3 ex-players | OneFootball

Gerson, Wesley, and Matheus Gonçalves will receive medals for having participated in Flamengo’s campaigns in the Libertadores and Brasileirão

Flamengo celebrated historic achievements this season by winning the Libertadores and the Brasileirão. Although some athletes are no longer part of the squad, the board decided to recognize the contribution of these players to the victorious campaigns.

According to a report by Coluna do Fla, the club will send champion medals to three former players: Gerson, Matheus Gonçalves, and Wesley. With this gesture, Flamengo reinforces its commitment to valuing those who helped write important moments in the club’s history.

WHEN DID GERSON, MATHEUS GONÇALVES, AND WESLEY LEAVE FLAMENGO?

Gerson left Flamengo at the beginning of July, after Zenit, from Russia, paid his release clause. Soon after, Wesley was transferred to Roma, in Italy, and said his goodbyes at the end of the same month.

Finally, in September, Matheus Gonçalves moved to Al Ahli, in Saudi Arabia. Thus, the three former players who helped the club in its victorious campaigns will now receive their champion medals.

CAN FLAMENGO STILL WIN MORE MEDALS?

With Gerson, Matheus Gonçalves, and Wesley cheering from afar, Flamengo is chasing another medal this season: the Club World Cup. After defeating Cruz Azul (MEX) in the Derby of the Americas, the Rubro-Negro returns to the field next Saturday (13th), for the Intercontinental semifinal, against Pyramids (EGY).

The match kicks off at 2:00 PM (Brasília time), at Al Rayyan Stadium, in Doha, Qatar. Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match on YouTube, their website, and social media, while Globo (broadcast TV), GE TV, and Cazé TV (YouTube) will broadcast the game.
