Representing Flamengo on the Brazilian national team, which is seeking its sixth World Cup title in South Africa, midfielder Kleberson made his debut in the competition. Replacing playmaker Kaká in Brazil's 3-0 victory over Chile, the Flamengo player, who won the World Cup five times in 2002, played just over 10 minutes.
Kleberson barely participated in the match, as the result was already guaranteed for Brazil. Next Friday (July 02.07), the Brazilian team will face the Netherlands in the quarterfinals.
Red-black goal
Brazil's first goal against Chile was scored with a header by Juan, a Gávea native. Besides the defender, Flamengo unveiled three other players who are representing Brazil in South Africa: goalkeeper Julio Cesar, left-back Gilberto, and midfielder Felipe Melo.
Chilean eliminated
In Monday's match (June 28.06) between Brazil and Chile, Flamengo still had another representative, but on the other side. Chilean midfielder Fierro was playing in the World Cup for his country and, now, with the elimination, will return to the red-and-black group. He did not participate in the round of XNUMX game.
