The U-15 and U-17 Guanabara Cup began for Flamengo this Saturday (3) with a mixed feeling. While the younger category beat Volta Redonda 1-0, being represented mostly by athletes from the 2010 generation, in addition to the U14 coaching staff, the older ones were not so lucky. Also formed by athletes and committees from the category below, the Garotos do Ninho were beaten 3-1, in a game with controversial refereeing.
First, it was the U15s who entered the field, at 11am, in the CT of Volta Redonda. Even playing against an older team, Garotos do Ninho were not intimidated and controlled the game well through possession. However, the last pass wasn't connecting and the opposing goalkeeper didn't have much trouble in the first half. As well as goalkeeper Vinicius, who had good support from the defense and did not suffer any scares.
In the final stage, coach Thiago de Camillis, who made his debut in charge of Flamengo's youth team, promoted changes that made the team faster. Thus, the local team's defensive structure began to dismantle and opportunities began to appear for striker Leonardo, who stopped twice at the opposing goalkeeper.
The goal only came in stoppage time, at 41' with José Eduardo . The striker received it from Nathan Ribeiro inside the area and had the calm to score the winning goal.
Lineup:
Vinicius; Nathan Ribeiro, Lucas Cecconi, Natã, Rafael; Vitor Hugo Cardoso, Thauan, Davi Fraga (Carlos Eduardo); Guilherme Queiroz (José Eduardo), Marcos Pierre (Antônio Victor) and Leonardo. Coach Thiago de Camillis.
Yellow card: Antônio Victor.
Under-17 loses in debut with Under-16 on the field
< Then, the team led by Vinicius Durante took to the field against Volta Redonda. Due to the heat and dry weather, the ball possession strategy to control the match and look for opportunities was used. However, the first goal conceded destabilized the team. After assistance on the field and the athlete being removed from the pitch, the referee restarted the match and authorized the return of the home team's player precisely on the side where Flamengo was building the play. The opponent stole the ball and played for his teammate to open the score. Before the technical stoppage, Volta Redonda scored the second in an effective loss of pressure.
Coach Rubro-Negro spoke with the team and the team came back better. The best chances appear on the left side with Davi Waisman and Ryan Pablo. In the middle of the second half, in a cross, the attacker was pushed and brought down in the area, but the penalty was ignored by the referee. This didn't faze Mengão, who continued in search of a draw. In another play by the duo mentioned above, Fla's first came out. Davi arrived from the left, hit hard and Ryan took advantage of the rebound to reduce it.
The chances of a draw continued to appear for Mengão, who continued to build on the left. Again on that side, in a cross, the ball hit the opposing defender's hand, but the referee signaled a corner. Near the end, Volta Redonda had a penalty awarded, also after a push inside the Rubro-Negra area, and did not waste the opportunity, finishing 3-1. The Under-15 and Under-17 will return to the field next Saturday, against Bangu, in the 2nd round in Gávea.
Lineup:
Dudu; Heitor, Yago Cardoso, Levy, Fabio Henrique; Lucas Falcone, Enzo, Rafinha; Davi Waisman, Gabriel Amancio and Ryan Pablo. Coach: Vinicius Durante
