In an interview with ESPN Brasil, Andreas praised the month he had with Dorival Júnior as a coach and talked about his experience with Paulo Sousa: “I only had two weeks with Dorival at Flamengo, but it was amazing. With Paulo Sousa it was a little more difficult. He’s a great teacher, but he doesn’t think about football like I do. Minds don’t beat. With Dorival it was different”.

After being loaned by Manchester United to Granada, Valencia, Lazio and Flamengo, Andreas Pereira was bought by Fulham, from England, in the last transfer window, for a value of 9.5 million euros (approximately R$ 48.41 million) . The Cottages started the Premier League well, with two draws and one win.
