The performance of Daniel Sales in the classic match between Flamengo and Vasco continues to generate comments. Now, Junior, a club idol, has left a message for the Ninho's prodigy. In the message, the former full-back made a point to praise the young player's performance, even playing ‘out of position’.
“Keep your feet on the ground, kid. We saw you’ve got the skills, you rocked on the left. Maybe that's where the opportunity lies for you to establish yourself. Good luck,” said Junior in a ‘post’ by Daniel Sales on ‘Instagram’.
Daniel Sales was the only player from the under-20 squad who got an opportunity in Flamengo's main team. In the classic match last Wednesday (21), coach Filipe Luís started the 19-year-old as a starter.
It's important to note that Daniel Sales played on the left, even though he is originally a right-back. After the interval, Filipe Luís made changes to the team and replaced the Ninho's prodigy with Alex Sandro.
Daniel Sales joined Flamengo in 2022 and has already won titles with the Sacred Mantle in the youth categories. In summary, at the moment, the right-back has a valid contract with the Rubro-Negro until 2028, with a release clause of 50 million euros (about R$ 311 million).
With Daniel Sales available, Flamengo faces Fluminense this Sunday (25), for the fourth round of the Carioca. In summary, the match kicks off at 6 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV provides the most Rubro-Negro coverage of the match on the YouTube, as well as on the website and social media.
