The under-17s of Flamengo is closer to reaching the much-desired final in the Generation Adidas Cup, one of the most prestigious tournaments on the international youth scene. With a determined performance, Garotos do Ninho triumphed over PSV 1-0, with the crucial goal being scored by striker Joshua in the 5th minute of the first half.


The play that culminated in the goal was the result of a collective initiative, highlighting the synchrony and technical ability of the young red and black players. Joshua, with his insight, crossed the ball into the area, while the opposing goalkeeper tried to intercept it, without success, resulting in the conclusion that displaced the defense and died in the back of the net.


FLAMENGO AND MISTER FILIPE A PARTNERSHIP OF VICTORIES


The absence of striker Lipão, sent off in a previous clash, did not impede the determination and commitment of Flamengo's first team in this crucial match. The lineup consisted of Leonardo Nanetti, Wanderson, Johnny, João Victor and Ítalo in defense, with Pablo, Lucas Vieira and Joshua in midfield, and Alan, Douglas Telles and João Paulo Camargo in the attack line.

< With four goals scored and only one conceded throughout the competition, Flamengo's performance is worthy of mention, proving its effectiveness in both the defensive and offensive systems. The four victories achieved so far and the only defeat suffered demonstrate the resilience and reaction capacity of the young athletes under the guidance of coach Mister Filipe.


The red and black fans, always passionate and engaged, do not saves efforts to support and encourage the rising talents that represent the colors of Flamengo. With each match, expectations grow, and the possibility of reaching the final of the Generation Adidas Cup becomes more palpable, foreshadowing a promising future for these young athletes and the club they love so much.
