In recent years, Flamengo has invested more in the youth categories and the results have been visible. As is the case with young Caio Barone, from under-17, who measures 1.96 m, and in an interview with FlaTv, he revealed a fact that shocked everyone in the studio. According to the young man, at the age of 10, when he was sent into goal, his height was already 1.70 m. In other words, he was very tall and very unusual for his age.

In this Wednesday's edition (04) of the program Garotos do Ninho, on FlaTv, Caio says, between laughs, that he was already quite tall. Therefore, he ended up being placed in the goalkeeper position. It's worth remembering that the archer was called up to the Brazilian under-17 team.

“I don't have much idea, but I think that at 10 years old I was already 1.70 m. He was already big for his age, well above average. Everything went well, I ended up becoming a goalkeeper”, says the archer in an interview with the program Garotos do Ninho, on FlaTv, he was called up to the Brazilian national team in the category.


Caio Barone also says that he wasn't always a goalkeeper. At 10 years old, the young man tried out at Santos as a defender. However, the Santos team identified potential in him to play in goal. Certainly, his height caught attention and that was what made Santos put him under the goalposts.

“When I was ten years old, I went to try out at Santos as a defender, first-hand. The week I went for the test, the goalkeeper had just left, they needed one more, they only had two. At first, I didn't want to become a goalkeeper, no. At first we don't want to become a goalkeeper, but then we start to like the position and love what we're doing”, says Caio Barone.


Caio also talked about how he arrived at Flamengo. He said that before he was sent away from Santos, he already received few chances. The young man says that he was lucky to be found by Red Black. The club saw the archer in action and was delighted.

“The week the coach told me to become a goalkeeper was the week of goalkeeper day. I spent two months working hard as a goalkeeper, I had never trained in goal. I was able to be happy and be approved at Santos. When I was 11, I went to the city of Santos. I spent two years there, but it wasn't as opportunistic. Flamengo saw me and I arrived here at 13 years old. I've been here for four or five years now. I got a penalty against PSG”, he concludes.

In the relationship between Gabigol and coach Tite at Flamengo, only the field is capable of speaking. Between the striker and coach, there is practically no dialogue, and the cold and silent war dictates that only one of them should remain at the club for the season in 2025.

No atmosphere with the coaching staff and also with the squad , Gabriel Barbosa has been convinced to change and airs, but even the clubs that expressed interest in the first half of the year backed away. With a contract at Flamengo until the end of December, Gabigol had offers from Palmeiras, Corinthians and Santos, was mentioned at Grêmio, but did not want to sign a pre-contract with any team.


The expectation was to try to turn things around on top in the second half, otherwise he would end his time at Flamengo like the idol he became, without any fuss.


Tite's arrival last year changed the entire perspective of the striker, who was already in a bad phase previously, and lost his place once and for all to Pedro with the presence of the new coach. With the center forward's recent injury, Tite kept Gabigol at the end of the line, under the argument that Carlinhos and Bruno Henrique perform better in the scheme with a reference man .

Without understanding the criteria, Gabi maintains her dedication to the basic level of professionalism in training, as it is not part of the coach's or the club's plans for a possible renewal. With the chances of a comeback practically buried, the two possible paths are to wait for the election in Flamengo to find out if Tite will remain with the next president; or wait for the end of the contract to freely listen to proposals again. Palmeiras and Santos have not yet given up on the idea, and Bahia appears as an option, as it has good investment capacity.

João Gomes and Lucas Paquetá, two players trained in the youth categories of Flamengo, are currently integrated into the Brazilian National Team. Both athletes, known as "Crias do Ninho", have stood out in their respective trajectories in Europe, and now train together under the command of the national team's technical committee.

João Gomes, who acts as midfielder , is one of the promises that emerged at Flamengo and today defends Wolverhampton Wanderers, popularly known as Wolves, in the Premier League. Since his arrival in England, João Gomes has shown constant evolution, both technically and tactically, gaining space in the squad and the trust of coach Gary O'Neil. His marking ability, intensity on the field and reading of the game were characteristics that caught the attention of the Brazilian National Team's technical committee, resulting in his call-up.

THE CLUB HAS PASSAGES FOR THE SELECTION




Lucas Paquetá, in turn, already has a more established career in European football. After leaving Flamengo, he spent time at Milan, where he had a complicated adaptation, but soon found his football again at Lyon, in France. Currently, Paquetá is one of the main players at West Ham United, also in the Premier League, where he has established himself as the team's number 10. His creative style of play, ability to organize the midfield and skill in decisive plays made him a key player in both his club and the Brazilian national team.

Paquetá's call-up to the national team, where he also wearing the number 10 shirt, reinforces his importance in coach Fernando Diniz's scheme. Paquetá has been one of the most used players in Brazil's recent matches, and his presence on the field has been fundamental to the team's offensive construction. His rapport with other players in the team, especially with Neymar, is one of the strengths that the coaching staff intends to explore during the next games.
