Gone Flamengo? Ex-Vasco Rayan admits love for red and black | OneFootball

What did Rayan say about the color of Bournemouth’s (ENG) shirt?

Rayan is a player developed in Vasco’s youth academy, but at the start of the year, he transferred to Bournemouth (ENG). The English team’s number 1 kit is red and black. Given the situation, the forward responded about what it is like to play in a uniform that resembles Flamengo.

“The guys at the club make fun of me too, but that’s normal, regardless of the shirt color. But luckily the number 2 kit is blue and black, which I think makes it easier”, Rayan said in an interview with ‘GE’.

Rayan wore Bournemouth’s red and black and did not feel the pressure. That’s because, with only eight matches played for the new club, the forward has already scored two goals and provided one assist in the Premier League. At the English club, the player has a contract valid until mid-2031.

WHAT IS RAYAN’S SITUATION IN THE 2026 SEASON?

Doing well at Bournemouth, Rayan earned a spot on Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil squad list. It is important to note that this is the last call-up before the Italian coach finalizes the players who will represent the ‘Seleção’ at the 2026 World Cup.

In Brazil’s first friendly during this FIFA window, against France, Rayan remained an option on the bench. However, against Croatia, on Tuesday (31), the expectation is that Ancelotti will give minutes to the former Vasco forward.

WHEN IS BRAZIL’S NEXT MATCH?

With Rayan available, Brazil faces Croatia at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time this Tuesday (31), in Orlando, Florida. Therefore, Rede Globo (free-to-air TV), SporTV (pay TV) and GETV (YouTube) will broadcast the match. Finally, as usual, Coluna do Fla will provide match details on the website, as well as on social media.
