There are already conversations, but that's what my businesspeople take care of, I'd rather not know, especially Now on vacation. I've been training for two weeks, but to take care of myself, without wanting to know about football, I leave that to them. Whatever is best for me, I dream of returning to the national team, I believe I have the potential for that."

That year, Flamengo faced a series of six games without victory, with defeats to Confiança-SE, Athletico-PR and Volta Redonda, as well as draws with Fluminense, Vasco and Botafogo.


Check out the Flamengo's last four games in 2024:

Flamengo 1 x 1 Vasco – Brasileirão
