Vitão introduced himself to Flamengo this Friday (09) and held his first press conference as a Flamengo player. Thus, the athlete took the opportunity to talk about the offer received from Cruzeiro and his initial contacts with Filipe Luís.

— There was also the offer from Cruzeiro, but as I said. These matters are handled by my staff, and when Flamengo came along, I knew this was the step I needed to take in my career. I hope to contribute in the best way possible -, he said, before concluding:

— I spoke very little with Filipe, my first contact was after the Libertadores game at Beira Rio. I talked briefly with him, and he said he was counting on me, he was waiting for me. But I was focused on Internacional and the club's goals -, he said.

What will be Vitão's number at Flamengo?

Vitão requested to wear the number 44 jersey at Flamengo. This is because the defender wore this number during his time at Internacional. Therefore, since the number was available, the player decided to maintain his origins now at the Most Beloved.

When will Vitão debut for Flamengo?

Now, Flamengo is waiting for Vitão's name to be published in the Daily Information Bulletin (BID) of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). Thus, the defender is expected to debut only when the main team returns to the field.
