In the current FIFA Date, the Brazilian team has two former players from Flamengo: Gerson and João Gomes. Both were called up by Dorival Júnior to join the national squad, allowing them to share the same environment in Brazil's main team. Gerson, who now plays for Olympique Marseille, and João Gomes, from Wolverhampton, are reuniting after a period without playing together. In the past, the duo had some opportunities to play for Flamengo, but their paths separated in 2021.
Gerson left for the French club and João Gomes went to European football, being transferred to Wolverhampton at the beginning of 2023 for a record transfer of almost 103 million reais. Recently, João Gomes used his social networks to share a special moment with Gerson during the Brazilian team's training. In a photo posted, the two players appear together, and the Flamengo midfielder, when reposting the image, made a point of leaving a clear message: “Maximum respect”.
OFF THE FIELD PARTNERSHIP
This gesture reflects the respect and camaraderie that remains between the two athletes, despite their different trajectories in European football. During the friendly against Ecuador, held at Couto Pereira in Curitiba, Gerson and João Gomes started the match on the bench. However, both were called upon by coach Dorival Júnior throughout the game. This participation demonstrates that, despite being at different clubs, Gerson and João Gomes continue to be important players for the Brazilian team.
Coexistence in the team is an opportunity for the two midfielders to reevaluate and strengthen their bonds. Daily interaction during training and matches Selectionis a chance to reconnect and show the quality that brought them to the international stage. While Gerson tries to establish himself as a key player for the Brazilian team, João Gomes is looking to solidify his role in the national team, having recently established himself as a key player for Wolverhampton. Both have the challenge of standing out and becoming viable options for coach Dorival Júnior, with internal competition being an additional factor in the evolution of their careers.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.
