Flamengohas agreed to sign Nico De La Cruz at the end of December 2023 However, the Uruguayan midfielder was presented by Mais Querido only at the beginning of 2024. Despite the great expectations placed on the athlete, his performance during the season was below expectations, far from surpassing the expectations. expectations of fans and the athlete himself.
In pre-season in the United States, Nico granted a interview with GE and talked about last season, commenting on the injuries that prevented him from reaching a high level and his arrival at Mais Querido, where he could play with his other teammates.
"I knew Flamengo more from the outside and from what Giorgian (Arrascaeta) and Viña said about the team. I wanted to know what the Flamengo world is internally. I found everything I thought of. and I imagined, I believe that in this sense it was very important for me to come across a club that knew what it wanted, its purpose", saidDe la Cruz, who added:
"Obviously everything was very beautiful, but I had to play, I had to perform, I knew the high price they had paid for my pass, so it's also a responsibility, a commitment that I feel internally that I have to give back to the club the impression I had created", revealed Nico.
INJURIES HASSLED NICO
Last season, < b>Nico De La Cruz missed Flamengo in many important games, as he was injured. The Uruguayan star was the team's main highlight in the first half of the year, being an absolute starter in the 'Tite era'. However, the player ended up in the DM three times from July onwards: trauma to his right knee and injury to the hamstring of his right thigh (twice). Thus, the midfielder played only 50% of Mais Querido's matches after the Copa América and was left out of the finals of the Copa do Brasil.
"I started well, I felt good, as the months went by I began to adapt to what Brazilian football was like. I understood that Carioca was a period of transition for what will be the preparation for. the year. We managed to beat him and it was important, because I always say that winning is also practiced, I don't like losing. Not even in tricks, Arrasca can confirm (laughs). bad with my physique, the pain started, I started to suffer some small injuries that got worse as the year continued. I tried to change some things in my daily life to get back to feeling full. , said before completing:
"Sometimes we play well and sometimes we don't, but I will never negotiate the effort. Sometimes I was 100%, sometimes I was 70, 80%, but I tried to play, because that's what I do best. The truth is that it cost me a lot at the end of the year. I believe that after the Copa América, which for me was an important mental drain, then my level started to drop considerably, I am the first person responsible and the first person to criticize myself for this. Then, at the end of the year, when Filipe arrived, we started to talk and understand a little of what he expected from me, obviously everything was reconstructed there again. I don't think I ended the year in the best way, but what this next year will be is already being shaped, and during the holidays that's more or less what I tried to do", said Nico.
