Which French player wore the Flamengo shirt?

Rio de Janeiro is always a destination some players choose for vacation. With that in mind, Axel Disasi, a French center back who plays for West Ham (ENG), shared moments from his stay in the “Marvelous City.” In one of the photos, the player even appeared wearing a Flamengo shirt.

Through social media, Axel Disasi posted a “dump” showing his stay in Rio. In the post, the defender was wearing the Sacred Mantle at a place that had the phrase “Race, Love and Passion,” a saying well known among Flamengo fans. In addition, the image also featured a drawing of Zico, the greatest idol in Flamengo’s history.

Later in the album posted on Instagram, Axel Disasi also appeared wearing the Mengão shirt while running along the waterfront of one of Rio de Janeiro’s beaches. Finally, the center back wrapped up the memories he posted by wearing the Flamengo shirt on a motorcycle ride.

WHO IS AXEL DISASI, THE FRENCH CENTER BACK?

Axel Disasi is a 28-year-old French center back who belongs to Chelsea (ENG), but he played on loan for West Ham last season. During that spell, the player appeared in 20 matches and scored one goal.
