Danilo heaps praise on Flamengo's 2026 signing: “Huge future ahead” | OneFootball

What Did Danilo Say After the Flamengo vs Corinthians Match in the Brasileirão?

Defender Vitão was the first reinforcement to arrive at Flamengo for the 2026 season. After the match between Mengo and Corinthians in the Brasileirão, Danilo made a point of highly praising the partnership he has been building with the player at Rubro-Negro.

— About Vitão, he is a kid with a huge future ahead of him, super humble and he helped me a lot in defense. Unfortunately, we conceded a goal that could have been avoided, but it’s great to enjoy this environment playing for Flamengo -, said Danilo after the match against Corinthians on Sunday (22).

Vitão arrived to fill the gap in Flamengo’s defensive system. Since the start of the season, the player has been part of a kind of ‘rotation’ of defenders in the matches. Thus, with eight games wearing the Sacred Mantle, the defender has already partnered with all the players that Rubro-Negro has available.

HOW DID VITÃO PERFORM IN THE FLAMENGO VS CORINTHIANS MATCH IN THE BRASILEIRÃO?

In the match between Flamengo and Corinthians, Vitão formed the starting center-back duo with Danilo. Near the end of the game, the defender had to leave due to cramps, making way for Léo Ortiz. After the substitution, Rubro-Negro managed to hold on for a 1-1 draw at the Neo Química Arena.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH IN THE 2026 SEASON?

With Vitão available, Flamengo faces Red Bull Bragantino on April 2nd, for the ninth round of the Brasileirão. In short, the match kicks off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), in Bragança Paulista.
