Reinier, the young talent from Ninho do Flamengo, had a memorable night on Thursday (02). He became the hero of Frosinone's (ITA) qualification in the Coppa Italia, with a goal in extra time against Torino (ITA), in Turin, in the second phase of the competition. This historic feat means that the former Flamengo team will play in the round of 16 for the first time in history. The goal that guaranteed this victory came from a 100% Brazilian move.
Striker Kaio Jorge, revealed by Santos, made a pass to Reinier. Flamengo's young talent advanced calmly from midfield and shot accurately into the Torino goalkeeper's left corner. The goal came eight minutes into extra time, after a 1-1 draw in regulation time. Arijon Ibrahimovic, a German who plays for Frosinone, scored the first goal of the match, while David Zilma equalized for the home team.
It is notable that, despite his leading role in the match, Reinier started on the bench. He entered the field in the 37th minute of the second half. Kaio Jorge was called in even later, after the end of regular time, for the start of extra time. However, this Brazilian duo clearly demonstrated that they deserve more opportunities, deciding the crucial game for Frosinone.
Frosinone's next challenge, with Reinier in the spotlight, will be in the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia, and will be a complicated mission. The opponent in the next phase will be Napoli (ITA), current Italian champions. The exact date of the confrontation has not yet been defined, but it will take place between December and January. Furthermore, the duel will be in a single game, at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, in Naples. Reinier, on loan from Real Madrid (ESP) to Frosinone, had a challenging start to his journey with the Italian team.
He was only listed for the first time in the fourth round of the Italian Championship, and his debut took place in the eighth round. However, currently, the attacking midfielder is going through a great phase. In the team's last four games, he scored two goals and provided two assists, always coming on as a substitute. Reinier's trajectory demonstrates his ability to overcome and adapt. Even in the face of early obstacles, he became a crucial player for Frosinone, and his extra-time goal against Torino is a shining example of how he can make a difference in decisive moments.
Furthermore, the The partnership between Reinier and Kaio Jorge in the match highlights the potential of Brazilian football on the international stage. Two young talents, coming from Brazilian clubs, were responsible for a historic victory on Italian soil. This not only strengthens Brazil's football reputation, but also reinforces the importance of giving opportunities to young players, regardless of their background.
Now, eyes are on the clash against Napoli, one of the strongest teams in Italy. The challenge will be immense, but Reinier and his teammates have already demonstrated that they are capable of overcoming obstacles. Frosinone's Coppa Italia journey is a story of perseverance, talent and determination, and Reinier is playing a key role in this successful storyline. Brazilian football has reasons to be proud of its young talents who shine on international fields.
Mengão still intends to get rid of three athletes by the beginning of September, when the signing period closes around the world.
