Mais Querido has been looking to sign the star for some time, so his attitude encouraged the Red-Negra Nation, filling it with hope of seeing him with the Sacred Mantle

0It seems that the dream of having Nicolás De La Cruz at Flamengo has not yet left the red and black fans. The ace was one of the most sought after by the Gávea team in the last transfer window and has been in Mais Querido's sights since then for the 2024 season. An interaction he made with Mengão's name on social media brought back his name remembered by Flamengo fans.
De La Cruz decided to comment on a publication in Arrascaeta. On that occasion, the midfielder celebrates the victory over Palmeiras, last Wednesday (08), in which he himself helped with one of the three goals scored. The River Plate (ARG) player responded, calling him a “scorer”.
Although Nicolás didn't even mention Flamengo in his speech, this simple comment was reason enough for the fans to start exulting with joy. It is interesting to remember that the two are partners in the Uruguayan National Team, maintaining a good friendship.
Fans have already taken the opportunity to also move the networks asking for his arrival at the club. Many even asked what number would be printed on the star's Sacred Mantle when he left River Plate.
In the last window, De La Cruz would have made a verbal agreement with the Rubro-Negra team, but this rumor has already been denied. But there is also information that Fla's directors tried to start negotiations, to which River played hard, due to the history of the two teams.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

0The Flamengotakes the field today against Peñarol in the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores with a single player at risk of suspension due to the accumulation of yellow cards: Nicolás de la Cruz. The Uruguayan midfielder, an important part of the squad, will be suspended for tonight's match. This means that, if he receives a yellow card during the game, he will be automatically suspended from the second leg, which will be played in Montevideo, Uruguay, in the team's next match in the competition.
This is a situation which creates some tension for Flamengoand for the player himself, as a possible absence of De la Cruz in the second game could be a significant absence. The Rio club needs to guarantee a positive result at home to travel to Montevideo with a margin of advantage. Furthermore, they will need to think about their strategy if De la Cruz receives the card and cannot play in Uruguay, which could impact the team's dynamics.
Nicolás de la Cruz is a crucial player for Flamengo's scheme. His playing style, marked by intensity, good marking ability and offensive skills, makes him a key player in midfield. He is an athlete who, in addition to helping defensively, also stands out for creating plays and participating in decisive plays. His absence would be a blow for the team, which would need to rethink its formation for the second match against Peñarol
The pressure on the player during today's game will be enormous. It is not easy for an athlete to perform knowing that one mistake could leave him out of a decisive game. This tension could affect De la Cruz's performance, especially in a game as important and high-level as a Libertadores quarter-final.
