Jesús Navas first remembered Mais Querido when asked about which teams he knows in Brazil
|
Flamengo has the biggest fan base in Brazil and is the country's best-known team on the planet. The person who 'gave proof' that Rubro-Negro breaks boundaries is the Sevilla (ESP) player, Jesús Navas, world champion with Spain in 2010. When asked about five Brazilian clubs he knows, the right-back first remembered the Mengão.
- Teams: Flamengo, Vasco, Corinthians, São Paulo and Santos (in that order)
- Brazilians who won the Europa League at Sevilla: Luís Fabiano, Adriano and Renato
- Three Brazilian cities: Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Brasília
- Brazilian artist: Alexandre Pires
- A Brazilian who won the Ballon d'Or: Ronaldo
The joke was for Sevilla himself, the club that Navas has played for practically his entire career. Revealed in the club's youth categories, the player only left for Manchester City (ESP), where he played from 2013/2014 to 2016/2017, later returning home. Furthermore, the athlete only wore the shirt of the Spanish club and, of course, of the Spanish National Team, where he won the World Cup in 2010.
At 38 years old (he turns 39 in November), Jesús Navas is not Think about hanging up your boots. However, the full-back's future is still open. After all, the contract with Sevilla is only valid until June this year. The player intends to remain in the team, but negotiations for renewal are ongoing.
Even at his advanced age, Navas does not leave any room for his colleagues and continues to be Sevilla's starter. Therefore, the club barely used Gonzalo Montiel, world champion with Argentina. The ‘hermano’, in fact, is in Flamengo’s sights for the middle of the year. The full-back is currently on loan at Nottingham Forest, in England.
Montiel, 27, has a contract with Nottingham until June this year. Therefore, the player is expected at Sevilla in the second half of the year. With little space in Spain, the athlete wants to breathe new air, and Flamengo has already made contact with the Argentine's staff.

Former Vasco player André Balada had a successful career in football, with achievements such as the Copa do Brasil and games with the Brazilian team, as well as time in Europe. However, the former striker revealed that he only had one dream left to fulfill: playing for Flamengo.
In an interview with journalist Igor Rodrigues, André preferred to remain secretive, but said that he did not play for his favorite team and that Mais Querido is still alive in the current Libertadores. However, his father ended the suspense by saying that Flamengo is the club that has had the former striker's heart since his childhood.
"(What was missing from his career?) He missed winning a Brazilian championship. ( Wasn't there a club missing?) My father is a Basque fan (laughs), I played for his club. (Did he play for yours?) Yeah... No. (Can you tell me which team you love?) When I can, I go and watch my team's games. (Is he at Libertadores?) Yes, he's at Libertadores", said André, who saw the mystery go 'down the drain' because of his father.
“His dream was to play for Flamengo. We spent a month negotiating with Flamengo, it almost worked”, said Lenílson Marins, André Balada’s father. The aforementioned dialogue took place in 2011. The player played for Bordeux (FRA), and would be loaned to Mais Querido and even embarked from France to Brazil. However, on a stopover in Germany, his phone rang and the businessman informed him that he had signed a deal with Atlético-MG at the last minute.
