In the Brazilian football scene, we find players from different teams and even stars who have already shone in Europe. Among so many prominent names, the best in Brazil, at least in the opinion of Dimitri Payet, from Vasco, is at Flamengo. According to the French midfielder, Gerson is the main athlete of the Brasileirão.
— There are good players... No. I'm not going to say that (that I'm the best). I know he's my friend, but the truth is, having played with him, I know he's a very good player... he's Gerson. He has others, but yes, the first one that comes to mind is Gerson. There's Endrick, from Palmeiras, who is different — said Payet, in an interview with Globo, answering the question about who is the best player in Brazil.
Gerson and Payet were teammates at Olympique de Marseille ( FRA) during the 2021/2022 season.

So, before signing with the Rio de Janeiro club, Payet got in touch with 'Coringa' to get details about life in Rio de Janeiro and also asked about São Januário, the headquarters of the Vasco club.
GERSON BACK TO FLAMENGO
After two months off the field due to kidney problems, Gerson returned to the field on Sunday (14), against Atlético-GO. Therefore, 'Joker' was called in when the match was tied at 1-1 and helped Rubro-Negro win the duel, with a goal from Pedro, in stoppage time.
