Flamengo player taunts Andreas Pereira after win over Palmeiras | OneFootball

Andreas Pereira faced Flamengo for the first time since returning to Brazil

Andreas Pereira faced Flamengo for the first time this Sunday (19), in a match valid for the 29th round of the Brasileirão. The player, in fact, witnessed yet another victory by Mengão on the field, by 3-2. After the match, Emerson Royal highlighted the strength of the Red-Black Nation and teased the midfielder.

— I’ve seen great atmospheres here since I arrived, but today was an environment I had never seen before. On the field, I got goosebumps when they were shouting. And the fans are a fundamental factor for us -, he said, before concluding:

— I believe they make a huge difference for us and make things harder for the opponent, because playing here with Maracanã packed is very difficult for the other team. Andreas can tell you that (laughs) -, concluded Emerson Royal, in an interview in the mixed zone.

How did Andreas Pereira perform?

It’s worth noting that Andreas Pereira did not have an easy time at Maracanã. That’s because, every time he touched the ball, he was booed by the red-black fans. Starting the match, the midfielder did not create any dangerous plays against Mengão and left the field at the 32nd minute of the second half.

What was Andreas Pereira’s journey at Flamengo like?

Andreas Pereira arrived at Flamengo in August 2021, after the club agreed on a loan with Manchester United (ENG), but said goodbye to Fla in June 2022. During that period, the midfielder played 53 games with the Sacred Mantle, scoring eight goals and providing three assists.

However, Andreas Pereira’s journey at Flamengo was marked by the ‘giveaway’ in the final of the 2021 Libertadores. On that occasion, Mengão faced Palmeiras in pursuit of the continental title. After a 1-1 draw in regular time, the midfielder slipped and left the ball at Deyverson’s feet, who scored for the rival in extra time.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Flamengo now returns to the field this Wednesday (22) to face Racing (ARG). The match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the first leg of the semifinal of the Libertadores.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (broadcast TV) and GE TV (YouTube) will broadcast the match between Flamengo and Racing.
