Now a commentator for Rede Globo, Felipe Melo once again spoke about Flamengo’s squad. The former player also heaped praise on Luiz Araújo, Flamengo’s right winger.
— Luiz Araújo is a great player to me. I never get tired of praising him. He’s a player who can perform several roles, left-footed, quick, with an excellent shot from medium and long range. This “kid” is a very good player -, he said.
Yes! Luiz Araújo was included in Flamengo’s squad list for the match against Independiente Medellín (COL). In fact, the player is one of the candidates to start this Thursday (07).
That is because Flamengo will be without Paquetá and Arrascaeta. As a result, a spot opens up in Mais Querido’s attack for the game against Independiente Medellín. It is worth remembering that, in the match against Vasco, the player was in the starting XI.
Flamengo return to action this Thursday (07) against Independiente Medellín (COL) in the fourth round of the Libertadores. The match is scheduled for 9:30 PM (Brasília time) in Colombia, with live coverage on ESPN, on pay TV, and on Disney+ via streaming.
