LUCAS PAQUETÁ TALKS ABOUT WORKING AGAIN WITH DORIVAL AND SAYS HE WILL COOPERATE WITH INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE BETTING CASE

Former goalkeeper Bruno Fernandes, who gained national prominence when playing for Flamengoand was convicted of the murder of Eliza Samudio , now works as a furniture delivery man. At 39 years old, Bruno was seen performing his new role in Rio das Ostras, a city on the coast of Rio de Janeiro. The information was released by CNN Brasil.

The revelation of Bruno's new occupation was made by the "Rio das Ostras 24 hora" profile on Instagram. A video published on the platform shows the former player unloading furniture from a truck in the city center. He would be working for a furniture company that also operates in Cabo Frio and Macaé, other locations on the coast of Rio de Janeiro.

In 2023, Bruno had already released videos on social media promoting a furniture company, which indicated his approach to this new field of activity.

Bruno was sentenced to 22 years in prison in 2010 for the crimes of murder and concealment of corpse of Eliza Samudio, in addition to the kidnapping of her son Bruninho. At the time, he was a goalkeeper for Mais Querido, and his arrest interrupted a career that was on the rise. Bruno became Brazilian champion in 2009 and, in 2010, he was in advanced negotiations to move to Milan, in Italy.

Created by Flamengo and considered one of the best midfielders in the Premier League, Lucas Paquetá does not hide his love for Mais Querido. Now, the player tries to pass on this red-black passion to the next generation. Thus, the athlete appeared in a video on social media teaching his son to sing the Mengo anthem.

In images published on social media by Lucas Paquetá's wife, which were reposted by the athlete, he appears at a moment relaxing with his family and helping his son sing the Flamengo anthem, even joking: “you have to sing it all”.

It is worth remembering that Lucas Paquetá was one of the names desired by the Red and Black board in the last transfer window. The midfielder is linked to West Ham (ING), but is experiencing a turbulent situation in England. This is because the midfielder is being investigated by the English Federation (FA) for "misconduct in relation to betting" in four Premier League matches.

Thus, Mais Querido even tried to convince the English team that a change of scenery would be positive for the player. However, West Ham did not accept the values ​​proposed by Flamengo and the negotiation did not progress.

Most Querido is focused on the confrontation against Peñarol, in the Libertadores quarter-finals. Therefore, Flamengo faces the Uruguayans this Thursday (19), at 7pm, at Maracanã.

The Brazilian team takes the field this Tuesday (10), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), to face Paraguay, at the Defensores del Chaco stadium, in a game valid for the 8th round of the Qualifiers. For the duel, coach Dorival Júnior will promote the entry of Endrick in place of Luiz Henrique. As a result, Rodrygo, who started the match against Ecuador centrally, will be moved to the right side.

In a press conference this Monday, the national team coach commented on the changes in the offensive sector and recalled that Pedro would be a perfect piece for the Brazilian attack.

“A reference man with mobility for me is ideal. Pedro has that and a lot of it. We've been thinking about Pedro's name since the first call-up and he knows it. He is a player who is perfect for the moment. I was very sorry for the injury he had. We lost a very important option, but the main thing is Pedro's feeling of being human. After that, it would be very important for the moment we are living in and would complete what we are designing”, said Dorival, before going deeper into Rodrygo.

“From Rodrygo, the last thing I want is for him to be reference, because it does not have this characteristic. The mobility he has at Real, the intelligence, the infiltration, is everything I want him to do in the Seleção and be able to execute movements without the need to fulfill a type of role. So he can use the best he has, as he had been playing with Vini and Bellingham up front, helping to rebuild his team. They have freedom in the middle forward, that's what we proposed when we placed the two closer. With Endrick, he opens up a little more to be positional with freedom of movement.”

Team captain, the right-back Danilo spoke to his teammates in the dressing room before the victory over Ecuador. The Juventus player recalled Pedro's injury and the time the striker will be absent.

“We just need each one of us to believe in what we have to do. Need some extra motivation? Pedro was here the day before yesterday, he was going to be a starter, (he's going to be) out for seven or eight months. What's our problem? From today onwards, every game is an objective, respecting those who made history with this shirt, respecting those who work from sunrise to sunset and, even so, at 10 pm they will watch the national team play", encouraged the captain.
