Bruno Henrique is one of the oldest players on the Flamengo squad. Since 2019 at the club, the striker has seen many arrivals and departures of Mais Querido players. In an interview with ‘FlaTV’, the number 27 revealed the feeling he had when a teammate left Rubro-Negro.
“Michael is a great friend. He played for Goiás, clubs we have a lot of affection for. When he (Michael) left, I missed his daily life here. We always kept in touch (…) We always maintained this friendship even from afar, we always watched his games too. He's a guy who I have great affection for,” said Bruno Henrique.
Michael and Bruno Henrique acted together in Flamengo for two seasons. During this period, both participated in victorious campaigns with Manto Sagrado, and helped bring titles to Mais Querido, including a Brasileirão (2020), a Recopa Sul-Americana (2020), two Brazilian Super Cups (2020 and 2021) and two State Championships (2020 and 2021).
MICHAEL BACK TO FLAMENGO
After two seasons playing for Al Hilal, from Saudi Arabia, 'Robozinho ' returned to red and black. In the mid-year transfer window, Michael was the first reinforcement announced by Mais Querido. Upon his return, the new number 30 was a starter and scored a goal on his debut in Flamengo's 2-1 victory against Red Bull Bragantino, at Maracanã.
In the confrontation with Bahia, last Wednesday- fair (28), Michael started as an option on the reserve bench. During the second half, the attacker came on, however, he soon had to leave the field due to a thigh injury. The athlete had to go to the locker room carried by members of the club's technical committee. 'Robozinho' is expected to be out for two months because of the injury and will not be registered for the Libertadores quarterfinals.
FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME
While Michael recovers from the injury, Bruno Henrique is available to coach Tite for Flamengo's next commitment in the season. On Sunday (01), Mais Querido visits Corinthians, in Itaquera, for the 25th round of the Brasileirão.
The expectation is that a large audience will come to watch the team, which turns its attention to the main national competition after the Club World Cup.

Attacking midfielder Matheus Gonçalves is expected to leave Flamengo in the next transfer window, but the young Flamengo prospect's destination is likely to be international football. According to the Gaúcha ZH website, despite Grêmio's interest in taking the player on loan, Flamengo's board prefers to negotiate with clubs abroad.
In the Brazilian Championship, Matheus has only played three matches , which still allows him to play for another team in the same edition of the tournament, as the limit is six matches. However, Flamengo has no interest in loaning him to teams competing in Serie A.
