After his commitments to the Brazilian Under-20 team, Matheus Gonçalves explained his decision to remain at Flamengo during the last transfer window. Even with few opportunities in the first team, the 19-year-old player believes he will have more chances under Tite's command.
“Proposals came from both Brazil and abroad. I prefer to stay here at Flamengo. My favorite team since I was little. I've been playing there since I was 12 years old. I believe I can have more opportunities and do very well there. Of course we get uncomfortable, because we always want to be playing”, said Matheus Gonçalves, before adding:
“Even more so, I’m hungry. But everything happens when it has to happen. If I didn't play, it's because there are better things to come. If I don't have minutes and chances, I'll work to make sure I do. I still have a very good head, calm, happy, I like playing football”, he concluded after the Brazilian Under-20 team beat Mexico.
