“An incredible feeling. Since I can remember, from when I started dreaming of being a player, I thought about playing with the Flamengo jersey. So I never imagined I would play against Flamengo in the World Cup. For me, it was very good, a unique sensation. I will never forget it,” he said before concluding:

“For Pyramids, it was also incredible, treated as the biggest game in the club's history. Now, we hope to return to playing matches of this level, which is very important and special,” he concluded.

Since Flamengo won the Libertadores of America, Ewerton Silva has not stopped receiving messages about this match. Given this appeal, the Pyramids player explained how the days leading up to the duel with the Rubro-Negro were.

“I received many messages from people in my city, in Laranjal do Jari, my hometown. The whole of Amapá too. Since Flamengo beat Cruz Azul (MEX), it started even more. It was really nice to receive the affection. There were messages of support and others saying they were divided,” he emphasized before concluding: Some said they would cheer for Flamengo, but they were hoping for a goal from me. Some messages were funny, all positive, and I took it as if I were representing all those who grew up and played with me since the beginning of my career there in my city,” he concluded.

IS EWERTON SILVA A FLAMENGO FAN?

Yes! After talking about the match, Ewerton Silva opened his heart and shared stories as a Flamengo fan. Thus, the player recalled the final of the Libertadores in 2019. Living in the Czech Republic, the forward relived the moment when Mengão turned the game against River Plate (ARG).

“I think as a fan, the most special was in 2019, when Flamengo won the Libertadores against River Plate (ARG). At the time, I was alone in the Czech Republic, my wife was not with me. I set the alarm for 2:30 AM to be able to watch the game.

At the same time I was watching, I received audios from my wife when Flamengo scored goals. Where I was, it was a bit delayed. When Flamengo turned the game against River, I started shouting while the whole building was sleeping. I didn't care about anything, I was just celebrating.

The second most special was when I lived in Rio de Janeiro, and I went to Engenhão to watch Flamengo with Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho even scored a goal in Flamengo's 3-1 victory over Atlético-MG. He has always been my favorite player.”

HOW IS FLAMENGO'S PARTICIPATION IN THE WORLD CUP?

Flamengo debuted in the World Cup against Cruz Azul (MEX). With a 2-1 score, Mengão advanced in the competition. The second opponent was Pyramids, which ended 2-0 for the Rubro-Negro. Now, the final match will be against PSG (FRA).
