After a week of training, the Garotos do Ninho visit Atlético-MG this Thursday (16), at 9:30 pm, and defender João Victor Souza shows confidence after good preparation and minimizes the away game in the search for three more points.
“We know the difficulty of the match. It's a very important game to be able to continue fighting for the top of the table. There isn't much interference when it comes to playing away from home, we are prepared. We had an excellent week. And now it’s time to do well so we can gain three more points and continue fighting in the championship”, said the jewel of the red and black base.
Youngest under-20 player, aged 17 in January, João Souza was a starter in Flamengo's two consecutive victories, against Santos and Cruzeiro. The defender is considered a jewel of the youth categories, and the tendency is for coach Mario Jorge to keep the young man in the starting 11 against Atlético-MG.

Mario Jorge does not have midfielders Rayan Lucas and Fabiano for this Thursday's clash, both of whom are suspended . There are names that could play for the under-20s, but are available to professionals: Lorran, Matheus Gonçalves* and Dyogo Alves.

After the break, Flamengo returned more organized and determined. Coach Filipe Luís adjusted the strategy, focusing on Lorran's offensive plays. In the 9th minute, the young striker started at speed, dribbled past two markers and finished with precision, tying the game.
Flamengo continued to press and, in a rehearsed move, Zé Welinton scored the turning goal. The full-back executed a perfect free kick, sending the ball into the left corner of the opponent's goal, repeating the feat from the last meeting between the teams.
Lorran's outstanding performance caught the attention of the coach of the Brazilian U-20 team, Ramon Menezes, who was present at the stadium. Lorran, who had already been called up to the national team, should continue to be one of Menezes' bets. Another player who has also been on the coach's list is midfielder Rayan Lucas.
With the victory, Flamengo reaches 23 points and remains in seventh place in the Brazilian Under-20 Championship. The team guarantees a place in the classification zone (G8) and is now hoping for Santos and Ceará to stumble to climb the table.
