Benny: Ronaldo will be persuaded to join Flamengo, Brazil!

When Cristiano Ronaldo went to Saudi Arabia in the shirt of Al Nassr, Brazilian singer Nado Benni said that he would try to persuade the Portuguese striker to join Flamengo, one of the most outstanding clubs in Brazil. He hopes to use his small relationship with the five-time Golden Globe winner to achieve his goal.

In fact, Benny revealed that he will soon go to Saudi Arabia and meet Cristiano Ronaldo in this Middle East country. As a note, he is friends with the Portuguese superstar. He also talked about his desire to persuade players to join the Brazilian club Flamengo: "I’m going to Arabia on Sunday, and I’m going to see Cristiano Ronaldo. We met in 2016, and in Madrid, he was my partner. We have been in contact, and I was invited to go there. Now it’s time for Flamengo to convince him, "Diario Do Fla quoted him as saying.

Cristiano Ronaldo joined Riyadh as a free agent after leaving Manchester United. It is reported that the Saudi club paid 173 million pounds each for his two-season contract. Therefore, people can’t help asking whether Flamengo can be such an economically profitable choice for the former Real Madrid player.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been in good shape for the victory team in Riyadh since he made his debut in the Saudi professional league in January. So far, he has scored 13 goals and provided 3 assists. And despite Benny’s eagerness, it is very unlikely that the five-time Golden Globe winner will join Flamengo.

Lampard said that his favorite midfielder is De Braune.

Lampard said that his favorite midfielder is De Braune.

Chelsea will play Manchester City away in this week’s league, and Lampard talked about De Braune at Friday’s press conference.

Lampard said: "As a player, I have always liked De Braune. I liked him very much when he played with us at Chelsea. We were teammates at that time and I like him now as a top midfielder."

"When I think back to his time at Chelsea, we played mainly in the 4-2-3-1 formation. I played a little further back, and Kevin was more fighting for the No.10 position or one of the two wingers."

"So I won’t say that we are competitive, but you can see his strength. Kevin is an excellent player. In the past few years, he has become a top player in Manchester City. He is definitely one of the many threats we have to plan. "

"When he was with us when he was young, our layout on the offensive end might be good. Azar is here, Huerle is here, Mata is here, and I remember that Kevin was really eager to play. "

"I personally don’t know what complicated things happened between him, the club and the head coach, but in retrospect, I respect the fact that he left the club. You can see that desire in his games. He always wants to show his talent. He is getting stronger and stronger. As a player, he has made incredible progress. I like to watch him play football. "

"His goals and assists in midfield are excellent, and his passing range is amazing. If he is not the best midfielder in the league, he must be among the best here. "
