Michael continues to stand out as one of the main players in Saudi Arabian football since leaving Flamengo. Last Sunday (08), the forward scored once again for Al Ula (SAU) in a 4-0 away victory over Jeddah (SAU).
At the 33rd minute of the first half, Michael was set up by Al Nabit at the far post. Thus, the former Flamengo striker showed composure to control the ball, evade the defender, and finish with style, increasing the score to 2-0.
With the goal against Jeddah, Michael remains the main highlight of the Saudi Arabian second division. In seven matches, the former Flamengo striker has four goals and three assists for his teammates.
Flamengo terminated the contract of forward Michael at the beginning of February. As a result, the 29-year-old player was free to sign with Al Ula. He then signed a contract with the Saudi club until the end of 2028.
While Michael continues to shine in Saudi Arabia, Flamengo is trying to turn things around in the Brazilian Championship. Currently in 11th place, the Most Beloved faces Cruzeiro this Wednesday (11), at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the Brasileirão.
