Two young talents revealed by Flamengo shone in Europe this Saturday (14). Goalkeeper Kauã Santos made his Bundesliga debut for Eintracht Frankfurt, helping the team to a 2-1 victory over Wolfsburg. Kauã entered the field after the experienced Kevin Trapp was injured at the end of the first half. Meanwhile, defender Léo Duarte scored his first goal in European football, securing Basaksehir's 1-0 victory over Bodrum in the Turkish league.

Kauã Santos, who arrived at Flamengo at the age of 16, he never played for the Rio club's main team. After standing out in the youth categories, the goalkeeper caught the attention of Eintracht Frankfurt, who invested R$8.4 million for 70% of his economic rights. On his debut, Kauã was unable to save a penalty taken by Baku, but held off Wolfsburg's pressure, helping to maintain his team's victory.


In turn, Léo Duarte, Copinha champion, rose to Flamengo professionals in 2016 and, little by little, established himself as a starter. In 2018, Milan, from Italy, spent 11 million euros to sign him. After a discreet spell at the Italian club, Léo transferred to Basaksehir, where he finally scored for the first time in Europe.

Léo Duarte and Kauã Santos' moment in Europe

Léo Duarte's Basaksehir occupies third place in the Turkish league with 10 points, just two less than leader Galatasaray. Kauã Santos' Eintracht Frankfurt is in sixth place in the Bundesliga, with six points, three behind leaders Bayern Munich.

Mariana Ximenes revealed that she made a change in her training routine to play Isis, the great villain of Mania de Você. The actress decided to focus even more on the gym, as the character requires her to star in hot scenes in João's plot Emanuel Carneiro, recently debuted on Globo.

“I'm loving this phase of waking up early and working out. Before, everything was a priority, except training. I'm going to the gym more, but I prefer to do outdoor activities”, said the beauty in an interview with the newspaper Extra.


At 43 years old, Mariana Ximenes analyzed that she thinks she is a sensual woman: “At Sometimes I think I'm very sensual, why wouldn't I? We have to feel sexy.”


In addition, the actress stated that it is difficult to lose her mind: “My therapy is always up to date. I'm a difficult person to take seriously, but I don't like incompetence, injustice and lack of education”, she said.

“I don't like fighting, I'm not warlike. I am selective in my stress. Over time, I understood certain things and calmed down. I was once anxious, today I'm just restless. Meditation helped me. Do you know when I take the opportunity to fight? On stage… that’s where I play,” declared the artist.


Mariana also reflected on the personality of her character in the 9pm soap opera: “The cool thing is bringing humanity to the characters. Not everyone is good or bad all the time. We have our weaknesses. Even Isis has her vulnerabilities. […] She had a flawed family foundation. Not that this justifies it, but she was disowned by her own family”, he said.
