The Flamengobeat Vasco on penalties 6-5 this past Monday (17) in the final of the Copa Rio under-17. However, Mais Querido only lifted the title thanks to 16-year-old Léo Nannetti. The young man was the goalkeeper chosen by Filipe Luís to start.


Léo Nannetti saved the seventh penalty taken by Vasco. The archer of Mais Querido flew into the right corner and saved Breno's strong strike. Soon after, Johnny hit hard on the right and secured the red-and-black title.


STANDING AMONG THE BASE GOALKEEPERS


Léo Nannetti arrived at Flamengo in 2022, when he came on a transfer Santos to play for the under-15s. Now 16 years old, the 196cm tall young man signed his first professional contract in 2023, the year in which he won the first Copa Rio title over Fluminense.

FINE TERMINATION AND TITE SUPPORT< /b>


By standing out at the base, Léo gained the visibility of Tite, who called him to join the Mais Querido in the pre-season in the United States. The curious thing is that the young man started his career as a defender at Santos, still in the under-13s, but took over the goal in the absence of a teammate. Thus, his parents convinced him to remain in his position.

With his prominence and great performances, Léo could attract the attention of European teams. However, Flamengo has already taken precautions with the young man's new contract. This is because the archer's termination fine is 50 million euros (R$291 million).

In the second leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil Under-20, Flamengo drew 1-1 with Goiás, at Raulino de Oliveira, and ended its participation in the national competition. Defender Iago, from a penalty, scored the red-black goal in stoppage time of the second half. It is worth remembering that Garotos do Ninho lost the first leg, in Serrinha, by 4-2, and needed to win by three goals to qualify for the next phase.

The game


Needing at least two goals to force penalties, the Garotos do Ninho started the match by taking the initiative to seek the attack. When they were without the ball, the red and black team advanced the marking to force Goiás to make a mistake. At 18', after a cross from the right, Shola took the first shot and the Emerald defense took it over the line.


With larger volume of the game, Flamengo continued to attack. At 25', Felipe Teresa risked a shot from outside the area and the goalkeeper saved it for a corner. In the final minutes of the opening stage, the red-and-black number 9 again arrived well on the right side, made a great individual play and hit hard with his left-hander. The goalkeeper managed to save Goiás and saved Goiás. The teams went to halftime without changing the score.

The Red -Negro returned for the second half, exchanging passes in the offensive field to try to open up space in the Goiás defense, which was well positioned behind. Esmeraldino, in turn, started to have more of the ball from the 15th minute onwards and opened the scoring. Halerrandrio took advantage of the failure of the red and black defense and scored a goal: 1 to 0.

In the final stretch of the game, Bill, from Flamengo, and Guilherme Elias, from Goiás, received a red card for aggression in a play on the left side. The red-black striker had just replaced Zé Welinton. In stoppage time, Lorran was brought down in the area and the referee awarded the penalty. Captain Iago went for the penalty, hit the goalkeeper's left corner and tied the match: 1 to 1.

The equalizing goal did little good, as the red-black team had lost the first game 4-2, in Serrinha. As a result, Garotos do Ninho ended up being eliminated from the competition.

Dyogo Alves; Daniel Sales, Iago, Felipe Vieira (Fabiano) and Zé Welinton (Bill); Rayan Lucas (Felipe Lima), Jean Carlos (Wallace Yan) and Guilherme (Pedro Leão); Lorran, Schola and Felipe Teresa.

Flamengo is preparing for a decisive clash in the Copa do Brasil U20, facing Goiás in the second leg of the round of 16 . The game is scheduled for today, at 5:30 pm (Brasília time), at the Raulino de Oliveira Stadium, in Volta Redonda. The Rio team will count on the presence of Lorran, one of the great promises of the youth categories, as reinforcement to guarantee classification.


Lorran's presence brings extra energy to the team led by the coach, who believes in potential of the young attacking midfielder to contribute decisively in this game. The athlete, who has stood out at the base, could be a key piece in Flamengo's strategy to break through Goiás' defense. In the first duel, Rubro-Negro came out with a draw, leaving the classification open, which increases the importance of a complete and reinforced squad for the return game. p>


 A REINFORCEMENT FOR THE BASE OF FLAMENGO 


In the first leg, Flamengo and Goiás drew 1-1, a result that maintained the balance in the confrontation. However, Flamengo enters the field with the advantage of playing at home, counting on the support of the fans to seek victory. In addition to Lorran, the team has been preparing intensely in training, focusing on correcting mistakes and improving offensive performance, one of the points that concerns the coach.

EXPERIENCED IN DECISIONS


Goiás, in turn, promises to make life difficult for Rio residents. The team from Goiás showed resistance in the first game and arrives at Raulino de Oliveira with the aim of surprising Flamengo and advancing to the quarter-finals. To do this, Goiás must maintain its strong marking strategy and explore quick counterattacks, trying to take advantage of possible mistakes from Rubro-Negro.

Expectations surrounding Lorran are high. The young player is considered one of the jewels of Ninho do Urubu and is being worked on to join the main team in the future. Their performance in the Copa do Brasil U20 is seen as an opportunity to mature and gain experience in decisive games, like today. For Flamengo, classification is fundamental, as the tournament serves as a showcase and development for their promises.
