De La Cruz ‘multiplies’ on the field, and Flamengo fans make an unusual comparison

Flamengo fans were full of praise for yet another outstanding performance by De La Cruz

Flamengo drew with Bragantino this Saturday (04), at the Nabi Abi Chedi Stadium, in the fifth round of the Brazilian Championship. Despite not achieving victory, the Rio team had another outstanding performance from Nicolás de la Cruz. Showing himself ‘ubiquitous’ on the field, the Uruguayan received lots of praise from red and black fans.

SEE REACTIONS:

Playing the 90 minutes of the match in Bragança Paulista, De La Cruz had 66 actions with the ball in the game and completed 83% of his passes (34/41). Furthermore, he made a masterful pass for the red-black goal in the match, which came from the feet of Bruno Henrique.

Helping the team both in defense and attack, the Uruguayan was casually compared by Flamengo fans to a manga series. This is because, in one of the ‘techniques’ from the anime ‘Naruto’the main character has the so-called ‘multiplication jutsu’where it transforms into several at the same time.

DE LA CRUZ SHOWS VERSATILITY

Proving to be a fundamental player in Tite’s Flamengo, De La Cruz once again confirmed the ‘versatile’ style in the game against Bragantino. This is because, with Arrascaeta’s absence, the number 18 was responsible for creating the plays and assumed a leading role in the match, despite the draw.

PALESTINIAN x FLAMENGO

With De La Cruz available, Flamengo will face Palestino (CHI), next Tuesday (07). The ball starts at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at the Francisco Sánchez Rumoroso Stadium, in Coquimbo, Chile, for the fourth round of the group stage of the continental tournament.

Therefore, as is tradition, Palestino x Flamengo will feature a live broadcast from Coluna do Fla, via YouTube. Furthermore, the most ‘brave’ and red-black team on the internet will be ‘in loco’ in Chile bringing all the details about Mengão towards ‘Eternal Glory’.
