The Flamengo takes the field in this Thursday (26), at 2:45 pm (Brasília time), to face Boavista in the second leg of the semi-finals of the Carioca Under-20 Championship. The match will be decisive for Rubro-Negro's aspirations in the state of the category, as the club seeks to break a four-year fast without winning the title. As they finished the qualifying phase in second place, the team led by Filipe Luís enters the field with the advantage of a draw to guarantee their place in the final.

Flamengo should start the match with the following lineup: Caio Barone in goal; Daniel Sales, João Victor, Felipe Vieira and Carbone on the defensive line; Rayan Lucas, Caio Garcia, Fabiano and Guilherme in midfield; and Felipe Teresa and Rafael Couto in attack. The expectation is for a balanced game, considering the 1-1 draw in the first clash between the two teams. If Rubro-Negro qualifies, they will face the winner of the other semi-final, which is being played between Vasco and Fluminense, in another Rio classic.

FLAMENGO HAS A BIG DECISION

In the duel on the way, Flamengo started well and opened the score in the 18th minute with Guilherme Gomes. However, the Boavista team managed to react quickly and tied the game five minutes later with Rivas' goal, leaving the match open for decision at the Estádio da Gávea. With the score level and the red-black advantage due to the draw in the second round, Filipe Luís's men know that they need to maintain control of the game and take advantage of opportunities to avoid surprises.

Flamengo arrives under pressure for the confrontation, as they have not won the Carioca Under-20 Championship since 2019, when they defeated Vasco in the final. Since then, the Crias do Ninho have accumulated frustrated participation in the competition, and now they have the chance to regain their leading role on the state scene. Furthermore, the early elimination in the Brazilian Under-20 Championship, after the defeat to Fortaleza in the quarter-finals, increased the need for a good campaign at Carioca to close the season in a positive way.

The possible signing of Andrew Pereira is part of Flamengoto seek young promises on the international market to reinforce its youth categories. The club has increasingly invested in training new talents, with the expectation that these players could, in the future, join the professional squad or yield good results in possible negotiations.

Flamengo's interest in Andrew Pereira also aligns with the club's policy of diversifying the nationalities of its base players, expanding the range of South American talents who can bring different characteristics and playing styles to the team. The choice of a Venezuelan player, playing in Argentina, highlights DSFLA's wide observation network and ability to identify young people with potential in markets that are often little explored by other major Brazilian clubs.

 FLAMENGO THERE IS A NEW INVESTMENT

Although there is no formal proposal yet, Flamengo has already started to analyze the necessary conditions for the deal to come to fruition. This includes a financial assessment, in addition to understanding Newell's Old Boys' expectations regarding a possible negotiation. The Argentine club, which traditionally trains and sells young talents to the international market, may see Andrew Pereira as an opportunity to make a good deal.

The arrival of Andrew Pereira at Flamengo would, without a doubt, be an addition interesting for the red and black base, which already has other promising young people in its squad. The club's objective is that, with time and adequate development, Andrew can become an option for the main team, following the path of other athletes who started in the youth categories and are now highlights in Brazilian and international football.
