Flamengo continues to focus on its youth academy as a key component of its sports planning. In recent hours, the club has confirmed the arrival of three young talents to its U-16 squad: Carlos Henrique, Jhon Kennedy, and Julio Cézar.


The athletes were discovered through a partnership with the Wilson Goiano Sports Center (CEWG), a project that has been one of Flamengo 's main recruiting hubs in the Central-West region. The observation was made by Jonhes, the scout responsible for scouting athletes in the area. Recruitment through CEWG is part of a policy that Flamengo has strategically implemented, diversifying its recruiting sources and expanding its presence in regions less explored by major training centers.


A TRIO THAT WILL BEAR FRUIT


The trio's arrival is another move by the club in its effort to keep the youth academy stocked with athletes with a competitive profile and potential for development. Since Filipe Luís's arrival as youth academy coach, the technical and tactical demands have increased , raising the level of internal pressure and favoring those who excel early.

NAMES OF ARRIVING ATHLETES


Carlos Henrique is an ambidextrous winger with physical strength, speedy dribbling, and technical skill. In addition to playing as a winger, he can also be used as a third midfielder, a role valued by youth coaching staffs for his versatility. With long strides and good aerial ability, the youngster draws attention for his physical maturity and ability to read space in attacking transitions.

Jhon Kennedy, meanwhile, arrives with the nickname "Cuiabano" (Cuiabano) due to his physical resemblance to the Botafogo full-back. A native of the state of Goiás, the new U-16 signing is known for his physical strength and precision crossing. The young left-back possesses characteristics that align with what modern football demands: intense marking, good timing on the ball, and consistent arrival in the attacking half.

Carlo Ancelotti, the Brazilian national team coach, was in the United States during the Club World Cup and praised the performance of the Brazilian teams in the tournament. According to the renowned Italian coach, the results achieved by Fluminense, Botafogo, Flamengo, and Palmeiras demonstrate that Brazilian football remains competitive on the international stage.



Ancelotti on the Brazilians in the World Cup: “Fluminense had a great campaign, reaching the semifinals, and Botafogo beat PSG, but Palmeiras and Flamengo also proved they can compete with the best European teams.”


The national team manager's praise highlights the growing presence and competitiveness of Brazilian clubs in intercontinental competitions. Fluminense's campaign, which finished in the top four of the championship, and Botafogo's unexpected victory against Paris Saint-Germain drew attention. On the other hand, Palmeiras and Flamengo , although they didn't reach the final stages, showed resilience in direct confrontations against major teams from the Old Continent.


Ancelotti's analysis comes at a strategic time, as the coach is preparing the national team for upcoming international challenges and focusing on developing the players currently playing in Brazil.
