The Brazilian under-20 team will have another session of training and friendlies with coach Ramon Menezes. On this FIFA Date, the Amarelinha coach called up four Flamengo players: They are: Iago, João Victor, Matheus Gonçalves and Rayan Lucas.

The midfielder and the two defenders from Mais Querido appeared on the first list released by the Brazilian team. Matheus Gonçalves was among the last-minute players. This is because, last Friday (30), the midfielder was included on the list in place of Alisson, from Atlético-MG, who was cut due to injury.


Under-20 PREPARATION

In addition to training at Granja Comary, the athletes called up by the Brazilian team will have two friendlies against Mexico. The first will take place on Thursday (5). The second will be on Sunday (8). It is worth noting that both games will be played at 6:30 pm, in São Januário.

HIGHLIGHT OF MATHEUS GONÇALVES

Matheus Gonçalves was one of Flamengo's main highlights in the winning the under-20 World Cup against Olympiacos. Thus, reinforcing the team led by Filipe Luís, the midfielder played a fundamental role in Mais Querido's turnaround.

OTHER PLAYERS FROM MAIS Querido IN THE SELECTION

In addition the young midfielder, Rayan Lucas, Iago and João Victor were also in the squad that won the World Cup. Furthermore, young people were also part of the team that won the Libertadores in the category.

João Victor Souza, under-20 world champion with Flamengo last month, signed the renewal of his contract with the club until 2029. This Monday (09), the young 17-year-old defender signed for another five years and four months with Rubro-Negro. The new contractual clause establishes a termination fine of 70 million euros (approximately R$431.5 million).

Even at his young age, João Victor has already been called up to the Brazilian Under-20 Team and played in the two recent friendlies against Mexico, held in São Januário. In the first match, Brazil won 2-1, on Thursday (05), and, in the following game, they triumphed again, this time 3-2, on Sunday (08).


The highlight of the defender's career to date was his participation in the U20 World Cup final in August this year. João Victor, born in 2007, was a starter in the decision against Olympiacos, from Greece, at Maracanã, where Flamengo won the victory by 2 to 1, coming from behind, becoming champion.


CELEBRATION ON SOCIAL MEDIA

After signing the new contract, João Victor celebrated the renewal on his social networks, publishing: “Exalted be the name of the Lord”, accompanied by a heart. Flamengo, in turn, also expressed support for the young athlete, wishing "many achievements with the Sacred Mantle" on its page official.


NEXT CHALLENGES AT FLAMENGO

After defending the Brazilian team, João Victor returns to Flamengo focusing on the Carioca U20 Championship. Next Saturday (14), the team will face Nova Iguaçu in the second leg of the quarter-finals of the competition. In the first leg, Flamengo won 2-0, and now they could even lose by two goals to guarantee a place in the semi-finals. The confrontation will take place at 9:30 am (Brasília time), in Gávea.

This last Monday (9), the CBF released the table for the Copa do Brasil under-20. Flamengo will debut on October 2nd, against Porto Vitória-ES, in a unique clash. As it has the best position in the ranking, Mais Querido will be the host of the duel, which does not yet have a defined date and time.

The winner of Flamengo x Porto Vitória will face the qualifier of Vasco x Goiás in the round of 16. Thus, it is possible that the "Classic of Millions" will be in the first knockout stage. The two teams qualified for the tournament due to their performance in the 2023 State Championship. The Cruzmaltino team won the cup, while Rubro-Negro finished in second place.

REGULATIONS BRAZIL CUP U-20< /b>

If Flamengo and Porto Vitória end in a draw, the team for the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil will be decided by penalties. Even though he is world, Brasileirão and Libertadores champion, Mais Querido never lifted the national competition trophy.

TITLE CHANCES FOR FILIPE LUÍS

The national knockout stage will be another opportunity of Filipe Luís winning another title as coach of Mais Querido. To date, the coach has won an under-17 Rio Cup and the under-20 Club World Cup, against Vasco and Olympiacos (GRE), respectively.

However, before thinking about the Brazil Cup, Mais Querido's squad focuses on the Carioca quarterfinals. Next Saturday (14), Rubro-Negro will host Nova Iguaçu, in Gávea, in a return match from the knockout stage. Flamengo has a two-goal advantage.
