After facing teams like Manchester United and Arsenal in sequence, Sheffield United is preparing for the next challenge against Wolverhampton, which has João Gomes in its squad.

It is important to highlight that, despite the adverse results so far, football is a sport full of twists and surprises. Vinicius Souza and his team will remain committed to seeking improvements and will seek to achieve a more consistent performance in the next matches. The support of the fans and the determination of the players are essential elements to overcome adversity and achieve a more satisfactory performance in the competition.

In an interview with the program Que Partidazo, in 2019, the midfielder, who built his career internationally, revealed that he was a long-time fan of Mais Querido.

During the interview, the 31-year-old player, son of four-time champion Mazinho, recalled his career in European football, where he played for big clubs, such as Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain. But what caught the attention of Mengão fans was his confession that he dreams of one day wearing the CRF shirt.


“I do think about playing for Flamengo. Everyone knows that I'm a big fan and supporter of the club. I followed and was very happy with the Brasileirão and Libertadores titles. It’s a dream to wear the Flamengo shirt”, said Rafinha Alcântara, generating euphoria among the red and black fans.



NEGOTIATIONS WITH FLAMENGO

After his public statement, Flamengo's board of directors even investigated the situation of the player, who at the time was still linked to European football and had no intention of returning to Brazil. Now, without a club and free on the market, Rafinha can arrive at the Rio club without transfer costs, but Mengão's directors do not seem to have the athlete as a priority at the moment.
