David Luiz recently completed three years at Flamengo and does not hide the identification he created with the club during this period. After 14 years in Europe, he defines the current period as one of the best of his career. In an interview with the Copa City Studio podcast, the defender spoke about his relationship with fans and stated that Vini Jr, the Red and Black's creation, could win the Ballon d'Or.

David has 123 games, three goals and two assists since 2021. "It's one of the most beautiful pages of my career after many years in Europe to have the opportunity to return to Brazil and play for Flamengo," he said.


"Flamengo would not be great if there wasn't the Nation, the fans, this love, if the stadium wasn't full every game and everywhere we go. It's a fan base that truly loves, it's living fully, dedicatedly. anything in your life, with this pure feeling, you feel. This whole atmosphere that surrounds Flamengo, is felt. Flamengo moves me, it brings me every day, when I wake up, the desire to fight. , sadness, but it's what moves us. Being part of this is a sign that you're alive, it's a sign that Flamengo makes you live in a different way."

Created by Ninho do Urubu, Vini Jr is one of the competitors for the Ballon d'Or. David Luiz believes that the young man can take the prize. The winners will be revealed at a ceremony on October 28th.

"[He can win] without a doubt, he's already proven that. Last year was perhaps his best season. He's fighting with all the other greats talents that are now reigning in football."


David was champion of the Libertadores and Copa do Brasil in 2022, as well as Carioca in 2024, but suffered a severe blow in the defeat to Palmeiras in 2021. "In 2021 we lost the Libertadores and for me it was a huge blow. I thought it would be the first time in my career that I would win a title in an "easy" way because I would already reach the icing on the cake, I reached the semi-final. life is nothing easy, we lost. In 2022 we managed to make a huge turnaround in the middle of a tremendous season. It doesn't matter how it starts, it doesn't matter how it ends. Flamengo deserved to be enjoying this era of titles and putting the club where it deserves."

At 37 years old, David Luiz is the oldest in Flamengo's current squad, but he still doesn't think about stopping. He has a contract until the end of this year and is awaiting Fla's wishes to renew. "I want to play as long as I love football. I play for love, that's what moves me. I work to be able to play, but as long as there is love there will be discipline and responsibility."

Flamengo joined Arsenal and Bayern Munich is one of the first Copa City licensed clubs. The football management video game will be released in 2025.
