("Chinese Super League Veteran Flash/Dynamics" column No. 155, for your attention is the former Changchun Yatai winger Marinho, the 31-year-old Brazilian wing has just moved from Santos to Flamengo, the new season will help the Red Devils of the Bajia league again to compete for the league title)
Flamengo officially announced the signing of Marinho, the two sides signed a one-year contract, which means that Marinho will represent the Red Devils of the Bajia for the next 2022 season. Flamengo, who lost the league title last season, have now made two signings, bringing in Brazilian back Thiago Meia from Ligue 1 side Lille for 4 million euros, in addition to bringing in Marinho from Santos for 1.2 million euros.
Marinho has performed well in his 3 seasons with Santos, with 8 goals and 4 assists in 27 games in the 2019 season, and 24 goals and 9 assists on all fronts in the 2020 season, even if the state of last season was slightly declining, there were 9 goals and 4 assists on each front. As a result, Flamengo saw him as a strong forwarder.
Marinho's fate with the Chinese Super League began in the winter transfer period of 2017, when he transferred from Victoria to Changchun Yatai for a low price of 5 million euros, played in Yatai for 1 and a half seasons, contributed 3 goals and 3 assists in 22 games in the Chinese Super League, and the overall performance was not bad. The Chinese Super League teams that he knocked on the goal were Quan Jian, Taida and Guoan.
Marinho left Quan Jian in the summer of 2018 to join Gremio for 2.15 million euros, although it played more than half the price, but compared to many Chinese Super League teams that threw more than 10 million euros to attract reinforcements and then let them leave for free, Yatai did not lose much.
