Last Saturday (20), in a comeback,
Flamengo came out on top 2-1 against Criciúma
, at Mané Garrincha, in Brasília, for the
18th round
of the
Brasileirão
. The match also marked a special reunion between two names that have faced each other in the
Premier League
:
David Luiz
and
Yannick Bolasie
.
After facing the Flamengo defender while he was playing for
Chelsea
in England, the Congolese striker of Tigrão, who has played for
Crystal Palace
and
Everton
in the English top flight, faced him for the first time on Brazilian soil. Bolasie had a series of praises for David.
“It’s always good to see a friend, someone I fought against in the Premier League, someone I respect a lot, who had a fantastic career and still performs at a high level, great atmosphere at the stadium yesterday,” the striker wrote on his social media.
“I’m looking forward to the return match.”
While David Luiz started and was substituted early in the second half, Bolasie didn’t even come onto the field. The return match between Criciúma and Flamengo, at Heriberto Hülse, is scheduled for
December 3
, for the penultimate round of the Brasileirão.
