The professional team only returns to the field on Thursday (11), but this Wednesday (10) also has a good Flamengo game in store for the fans to watch. This is the U20 team, led by Filipe Luís. Mengão plays the 13th round of the championship against Athletico-PR looking to move up the table.


Time and where to watch Flamengo x Athletico- PR for the Brasileirão U20


The game takes place in Gávea, and is scheduled for 3pm (Brasília time). To watch, simply tune in to Fla TV, the club's official YouTube channel, which broadcasts the match. The broadcast is exclusive.


Game refereeing

The CBF has already selected the referee for the match and decided that João Marques Gonçalves will be the one to referee the game. Furthermore, Victor Augusto Camões and Lucas Castro dos Santos will be João's assistants in the match.


Flamengo seeks to climb the table

Filipe Luís' team they only have 19 points, 11 behind Palmeiras, who lead the competition. The team is seventh in the Brasileirão. It is worth remembering, however, that the top eight placed qualify for the knockout stages, and that is the objective of Mais Querido, who can become champions by playing in the knockout phases.

To do this, it is necessary to maintain among the top eight. Last year, the final in Volta Redonda, with on-site coverage by MRN, had Flamengo champion beating Palmeiras, on penalties. Athletico-PR, in turn, has 21 points and is fighting at the top of the table.

Mengão won the last game against Athletico for the Under-20s

In the last meeting between Flamengo and Athletico, Mais Querido came out on top, winning 4-1. In other words, the chances of winning are good. In addition, there are 11 clashes between teams in the category, with five victories for Rubro-Negro from Rio and four for Paraná, as well as two draws.

Probable lineup for Flamengo

The team is not the same as the 3-0 victory over Bangu in the Carioca U20. This is because Raphael Bahia works with the U20 B team in the competition. In the Brasileirão, Filipe Luís commands the main athletes in this base division. In addition to names like Iago and Carbone, who have already appeared in the professional ranks, as well as goalkeeper Dyogo Alves, Shola is also one of the big names. See Flamengo's likely lineup:

Dyogo Alves; Daniel Dales, Iago, João Souza, Carbone; Jean Carlos, Rayan Lucas, Felipe Teresa and Guilherme; Shola and Welinton.

Athletico's probable lineup:

Voronov; João Gomes, Fábio Lucas, Marcos Maia, Léo Deril; Arthur Dias, Diogo Riquelme, Lucca Prior, Chqueti; Guilherme Back and Lucas Amorim.

Filipe Luís plays his third game in the category

Filipe Luís' debut was not good in the Under-20s, and the team lost to Fortaleza 3-0. But the recovery was quick. Against Bahia, Shola scored twice in the 2-0 victory. This will be the coach's third match in the category.

Flamengo has officially signed one of its top youth prospects, 16-year-old striker Emanuel Silva de Oliveira , to his first professional contract. A member of the 2009 generation, the youngster, who has excelled in the U-17 team, has signed a three-year contract. This information comes from the FlaBase portal.


The contract establishes a termination fee of 50 million euros (approximately R$312 million at the current exchange rate), an amount that reflects the club's confidence in the athlete's potential and serves as protection against harassment from European clubs.


JEWEL FROM PARÁ WITH RED AND BLACK DNA


Born on June 1, 2009, in Marabá, Pará, Emanuel plays as a right winger and stands out for his left-footedness , which allows him to cut inside with ease, creating finishing moves and providing assists. The striker signed a professional contract as soon as he turned 16, the minimum age required by the Pelé Law. Prior to that, since he was 14, Emanuel had been linked to the club through a Sports Training Contract.

DISCOVERED IN A TOURNAMENT IN TOCANTINS


The young talent's journey to Ninho do Urubu began in 2019, when he was discovered by Flamengo scouts during the Copa da Integração, a major youth tournament held in Araguaína, Tocantins . Since then, Emanuel has progressed through all the ranks, racking up strong performances and winning titles.

In 2022, he was named Rio de Janeiro's best player in the under-13 category, a recognition that solidified his status as one of the club's brightest prospects. With this new contract, Flamengo reinforces its policy of valuing the club's talented youngsters , betting on another talent who is emerging as a future star of the professional team.

On an afternoon of total superiority, Flamengo under-20 beat Sampaio Corrêa 4-0 this Saturday (27), in a game valid for the ninth round of the Taça Guanabara, held at CT da Saferj, in Guaratiba (RJ). Without the players who will go to the Under-20 World Cup , the great highlight was striker Douglas, author of two goals. Germano and Guilherme also scored for Rubro-Negro.


THE GAME


The team was on the attack from the opening minutes and quickly opened up a lead . In the 16th minute, Douglas capitalized on a precise pass from Daniel Sales to open the scoring. Shortly thereafter, in the 32nd minute, Germano doubled the lead, again after an assist from Daniel. Still in the first half, in the 37th minute, Guilherme scored with a perfect free kick, turning the victory into a partial rout.


In the second half, Flamengo maintained the pace and after just 5 minutes, they set the score. Douglas received the ball from Pablo and scored his second goal, making it 4-0 . With the result, Rubro-Negro is preparing to face Madureira, next Saturday (4), at 10 am, at Aniceto Moscoso Stadium, for the continuation of the Guanabara Cup.

RESULTS IN OTHER CATEGORIES


Saturday was also busy for other Flamengo youth teams. In the Copa Rio U-15, Flamengo drew 1-1 with Fluminense in Xerém . Marcos Pierre scored the red-and-black goal early in the second half.

In the U-16, in the Guilherme Embry Tournament, Flamengo beat Sampaio Corrêa 2-0 , in Saquarema. Anthony and Wallace secured the victory in the second stage. Mengão's U-20 returns to the field on Saturday (4), when the Garotos do Ninho face Madureira, still in the Cariocão of the category.

Flamengo confirmed, this Monday, the termination of the contract of striker Felipe Teresa , 19 years old, who had a contract with the club until July 2026. The player was known for having been the author of the goal that guaranteed Rubro-Negro the title of the U-20 World Cup in 2024 , when the team was commanded by Filipe Luís.


According to information initially released by the Flazoeiro profile, the decision to terminate the contract came from Flamengo itself, motivated by dissatisfaction with the athlete's behavior in training and matches. The incident occurs amid a restructuring of the club's youth squad, which has seen several players leave in recent months.


LOSS OF SPACE


In 2024, Felipe Teresa played 25 games and scored five goals for the U-20 team. He even came on in the second half of the red-and-black team's penalty shootout victory over Barcelona at the Maracanã , but in the final matches he was only on the bench. Despite being more experienced, the striker lost out to younger players.

PASSAGE THROUGH THE PROFESSIONAL


Last year, Teresa received an opportunity in the professional team during the Brazilian Championship , in the match against Grêmio , when she came on at the end of the game and scored a goal.

He subsequently played only for the alternate team in the Campeonato Carioca and was never called up to the main squad again. The striker joined Flamengo in 2022, at the age of 15 , after excelling in the Campeonato Paulista with Inter de Limeira.
