The midfielder João Alves, featured in Flamengo Tand recently champion of the U20 Club World Cup, he has a trajectory marked by modest beginnings and opportunities made the most of. Born in Santa Cruz do Capibaribe, Pernambuco, João had his career boosted by a social project managed by Renê, former Flamengo left-back and responsible for helping transform the lives of young athletes in the region.
João Alves began to take his first steps in football in an environment where the practice of the sport was limited. In his hometown, field football was not very prominent, and most sporting activities were concentrated on courts. It was in this context that Renê's social project became fundamental for João and other young people who, like him, dreamed of playing football on a field.
Renê, who also began his career in similar conditions and arrived Having won 15 titles with the Flamengo shirt, he saw the social project as a way of giving back to the community that supported him throughout his career. The project offers structure and support so that young talents can develop their skills in field football, something that would not be possible without this initiative in Santa Cruz do Capibaribe.

FLAMENGO HAS ITS REAL ISSUES
In 2022, after standing out in a tournament held in Piauí, João Alves was invited to join the Flamengo squad. This invitation represented a major change in the life of the young player, who now had access to a professional structure and opportunities that seemed distant in his previous reality. The transition from a social project in Pernambuco to one of the biggest football clubs in Brazil is an example of how talent combined with appropriate opportunities can transform lives.
After winning the world title with Flamengo, João Alves made a point of recognizing the importance of social project in its formation. In an interview, he highlighted how Renê's initiative was decisive in enabling him to achieve his dream of becoming a football player. “The project opened its doors because there was no football in my city. It was more of a court and such. And going to the project helped me achieve my goal of playing on the field”, declared João.
Mengão squad says goodbye to the United States after playing in the Club World Cup, where they reached the round of 16

Eliminated by Bayern Munich in the Club World Cup semi-finals, Flamengo begins its transition back to the routine of Brazilian football this Monday (30) . The delegation leaves the United States at 10 pm (Brasília time) bound for Galeão Airport, on Governador Island, in Rio de Janeiro.
The return marks the end of the international stint, but also the beginning of a new plan. With the focus once again on national and continental competitions, Rubro-Negro is organizing the squad's return for next Saturday, July 5th, at 9:30 am, at Ninho do Urubu.
The coaching staff decided to give the players a week off, as a way of recovering physically and mentally after the exhaustion of the competition. The break is strategic, as Flamengo has a marathon of games ahead in July, involving the Brazilian Championship, the Copa do Brasil and the Libertadores.
The return will be marked by intense training at the training center, with a focus on regaining the lead in the Brasileirão and the decisive stages of the knockout tournaments. The tendency is for Mengão to use the period to adjust the team and recover players who returned from the World Cup with muscle fatigue.
Although Flamengo 's next match in the Brasileirão is theoretically scheduled against São Paulo, as the home team, confirmation of the date still depends on the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). The game was scheduled to take place during the Club World Cup. With the early elimination, the club expected the match to be rescheduled. However, the CBF is facing difficulties with the tight schedule, and the current trend is that the duel with São Paulo will be held for July 13.
Cano and Hércules scored the goals in the match in Charlotte and now the team from Laranjeiras awaits the result of the match between Manchester City and Al-Hilal

Fluminense needed little time to open the scoring against Inter. Two minutes in, Arias received the ball from Martinelli, advanced down the right and crossed. The ball deflected off Bastoni, and Cano, who completed 200 games for Tricolor today, took advantage of the chance to score the first goal of the match.
The team from Rio also missed a chance to extend their lead with Samuel Xavier, who shot just wide of Sommer's goal. Ignácio managed to score the second goal after a three-touch header in the box, but the move was disallowed due to the defender being offside. Inter had their best chances with long balls behind the defense. In one of the most dangerous plays for the Italians, Mkhitaryan received the ball in the box on the left and passed it to Dimarco, but Fábio saved it . Before the end of the first half, there was a brief scuffle between Renato Gaúcho and Mkhitaryan.
The first big chance of the second half came again in Fluminense's favor and through Cano's feet, in the 11th minute. Minutes later, Arias forced Sommer to perform a miracle with a bomb from outside the area. As the second half progressed, following the substitution rounds, Inter Milan grew in the game and began to put pressure on Fluminense - there were at least five clear chances. De Vrij missed an unbelievable shot in the six-yard box, and Lautaro had three clear chances in a three-minute interval - one of which hit the post.
In injury time, Hércules sealed the victory over Inter. Samuel Xavier took a throw-in, De Vrij headed the ball and the ball went past everyone before falling to the Tricolor midfielder. Hércules controlled the ball and invaded the area before shooting with his left foot, missing Sommer's goal! End of story in Charlotte.
Fluminense now has to face either Manchester City or Al-Hilal. If the English team gets through, it will be a repeat of the Club World Cup in 2023, where the tricolor succumbed to the power of the blue side of Manchester, with Guardiola and his team.
Now, the red-black team turns its strength to what's coming in 2025 and the Portuguese director will have a window to further strengthen the cast.
