The attacker Juninho has already taken his first steps in Flamengo. After arriving in Rio de Janeiro on Monday (13), the new number 23 was present at Ninho do Urubu. During his presentation, the player highlighted the importance of Filipe Luís in the negotiation process and revealed the behind-the-scenes of a call received from defender Léo Pereira.
“It’s very difficult to say no to Mengão. The coach's endorsement is also very important, even more so with the history that Filipe Luís has built as a player and now as a coach. Léo Pereira also sent me a message. He's a guy I've known for years and I've followed his success at Flamengo. His presence here will make it easier everything my process,” commented Juninho on interview with FlaTV.
Juninho and Léo Pereira: reunion at Mengão
The partnership between Juninho and Léo Pereira goes beyond Flamengo. The duo has already played together at Athletico-PR, which should help the attacker settle in at Rubro-Negro. Léo Pereira, in fact, will be one of those responsible for helping his friend in this new challenge.
To date, Juninho has not had contact with the main squad of Flamengo, which is in pre -season in the United States. The board even considered integrating the player into the group led by Filipe Luís, but logistical issues, such as the lack of documentation necessary to enter the country, prevented the trip.

Thus, he will be absent from the friendly againstSão Paulo, scheduled for this Sunday (19), in the FC Series.
