Fabrício Bruno, defender of Flamengo, debuted for the Brazilian team last Saturday (23) and was instrumental in Brazil's 1-0 victory over England. The defender's performance not only caught the attention of the fans, but also impressed the English press.
Thus, after the final whistle, the newspaper "The Guardian", one of the largest in the country, gave it a rating of 7 for Fabrício Bruno's performance at Wembley and highlighted the safe performance in his debut with the "Canarinho" shirt.
“Fabrício Bruno debuted because of Brazil's injury problems and made no mistake. Flamengo's defender was powerful”, says the evaluation of the English newspaper.
OTHER ENGLISH NEWSPAPERS EVALUATE THE FLAMENGO DEFENDER
In addition to The Guardian, others English newspapers also highlighted Fabrício Bruno. Daily Maily, for example, evaluated the defender rubro-negrowith the same rating of 7 and said: “Flamengo's central defender 'handcuffed' Watkins without any problems.”
Squawa went further and gave a rating of 8 for the defender of Mais Querido. The portal understands that the move in which Fabrício stops a dangerous move from England was one of the most important of the match and placed the defender among the players with the highest scores in the match.
“It was his great tackle on Watkins who denied the Aston Villa player the goal in the first half, and he defended well the entire time.”
FABRÍCIO BRUNO COMMENTS ON OPPORTUNITY IN THE SELECTION
After the game, Fabrício Bruno gave an interview and spoke about the opportunity he received in the Brazilian team: "Unique feeling. I work hard every day to get to where I am at my club and today here in the team. Always with my feet on the ground and trying to evolve more and learn every day. Happy for the opportunity, happy for the game we played as a team, an extremely difficult game", said Fabrício Bruno, in an interview after the game.
"At 28 years old, I'm here representing the national team for the first time. I didn't have a base background, but I'm playing in the main team and in my first call-up. It's a unique feeling, a feeling that everything I did in the past was worth it. All the effort from my father, my mother and my brother made it possible for me to get here today and demonstrate my potential. Therefore, I am grateful to everyone who helped me at this time", commented the Flamengo defender.
The midfielder has not been given opportunities in the Mengão professional team with Filipe Luís and the Russian club is getting closer and closer to closing the deal.

Striker Matheus Gonçalves is close to joining CSKA Moscow in Russia. The Russian club has long-standing interest, but talks have progressed in recent weeks , and Flamengo is already admitting the possibility of losing the 19-year-old.
The proposal involves a loan with an option to buy at the end of the contract. If he excels in Russian football, CSKA will have priority to acquire the player permanently . Matheus' departure, however, is not expected to happen before the U-20 World Cup final, when Flamengo faces Barcelona.
Matheus Gonçalves was once close to a deal with Cruzeiro, but was reinstated to Filipe Luís's squad after strong performances with the U-20 team . Since then, he's played in the Brasileirão derby against Fluminense and was available for the Copa do Brasil clash with Atlético-MG. However, he hasn't left the bench in the last two matches.
Despite his desire to establish himself at Flamengo, Matheus Gonçalves recognizes the need for more regular play —something that's currently difficult to achieve at Rubro-Negro. Therefore, he authorized his staff to seek new opportunities, and CSKA Moscow emerged as an important opportunity, including for his first experience in Europe.
A product of Flamengo's youth academy, the striker played for Red Bull Bragantino in 2023, playing 13 matches . The São Paulo club attempted to sign him permanently, but the deal fell through. This season, Matheus has played 15 games and scored two goals for Flamengo.
The player is a product of Mengão's youth academy and is Galo's new signing for the 2025 season after a disappointing stint at Real Madrid.

Atlético-MG made official this Friday (08) the signing of midfielder Reinier , revealed by Flamengo. The 23-year-old player signed a contract valid until December 31, 2029. According to journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira, Mengão consulted the player's representatives, but considered the amounts requested too high for the moment.
Atlético-MG on Reinier, ex-Flamengo: "Reinier is a Rooster"
"Reinier is a Galo! An Olympic champion with experience at clubs in Spain, Germany, and Italy, the midfielder is Atlético's newest addition! At 23, he signed a contract until December 31, 2029, and will be another option for Cuca's squad . Keep it up, Reinier!" the club posted on social media.
Reinier rose to prominence in Brazilian football after being promoted to the professional team in 2019 under Jorge Jesus. That year, he was part of the squads that won the Brasileirão and Libertadores . For Flamengo , the midfielder made 15 appearances, scoring six goals and contributing two assists.
After excelling at Flamengo, he was sold to Real Madrid (ESP), but failed to make the first team. He played on loan at Borussia Dortmund (GER), Girona (ESP), and Frosinone (ITA) before returning to Brazil to play for Atlético-MG.
While Reinier reinforces Galo, Flamengo remains focused on the Brasileirão . This Saturday (09), the team faces Mirassol, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 18th round. The broadcast will be exclusive to Premiere, via pay-per-view.
