Midfielder Andreas Pereira conceded press conferencethis Wednesday (5), in Orlando, United States, where the Brazilian team is training for friendlies against Mexico and the USA, but mainly for the Copa América. The former Flamengo player once again mentioned Rubro-Negro in his answers. This time, the Fulham athlete said that relationships at Fla helped him to be where he is today.
In the first response, Andreas recalled the moment after the failure in the 2021 Copa Libertadores final, which cost the club the title Flamengo. One character was very important for Andreas to move forward:
“It started with Dorival at Flamengo. He was the first coach who helped me. He lifted me up a lot. He helped me lift my head. In England, Fulham coach Marco Silva helped me a lot. So, thanks to these people and my family, today I am here in the national team.”
Then, Andreas Pereira stated that the rapport with his midfield teammates in the national team has a lot to do with Flamengo. The midfielder said: “I already knew João Gomes from Flamengo and Paquetá also came from there, so there was that connection. There are more Diogo and Bruno Guimarães. We went to Disney together and had a great time. It's great to have this friendship in the Seleção.”
Andreas Pereira returns to talk about Flamengo after controversial story
To conclude the press conference regarding Flamengo, Andreas Pereira spoke again about Dorival's importance, in 2022: “He helped me a lot at a time when I really needed it. I will always carry in my heart how important he was in my career. I was very happy with him in the national team and now I have to do my best to repay what he did for me.”
Andreas Pereira played for Flamengo between 2021 and 2022. The midfielder now at Fulham started well and became starter for Renato Gaúcho's team, but slipped and lost the ball to Deyverson, in the 2021 Libertadores final. Fla even thought about buying the athlete from Manchester United, but gave up under pressure from the fans.
