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 fan of Vasco, is known by the same name as the number 18 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'm dying for him to leave. He talked about his knee, 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 it's going to be a pain in my life -, he declared, before concluding:

— Why didn't he go to Arabia? (laughs). Once they sent me to try to sign Darwin Nunes for Flamengo. They tag me all the time on Twitter. Biggest fool, dude -, concluded the 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). Throughout this period, the number 18 of Mengão has had ups and downs.

At the moment, Nico is looking to have a sequence of games again for Flamengo. This is because the Uruguayan was only available at 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 GAME?

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

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME?

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