Andrew likens Flamengo’s set-up to a European club | OneFootball

Gil Vicente (POR) is the former club of Andrew, Flamengo's new goalkeeper

Whenever a player with experience in Europe arrives at Flamengo, the athlete praises the red-black facilities. Thus, for goalkeeper Andrew, it was no different. The new signing of the Most Beloved sees superiority in relation to the structures of Gil Vicente (POR).

— I can only speak in relation to Gil Vicente, which is where I worked. It doesn't have as extensive a structure as Flamengo, but it has professionals with extreme capability and willingness to help us grow and work -, stated Andrew to add that:

— Regarding Flamengo, I am 100% happy and satisfied with what the club offers. It's all top-notch. As I said, it's a very big team, with many demands, and it offers everything to do the best work -, highlighted the goalkeeper in a press conference.

Is Flamengo's Training Center a reference?

The George Helal Training Center impressed, for example, the main team of Bayer Leverkusen (GER). The German team was at the red-black facilities for the 2025/26 pre-season.

As a curiosity, Flamengo invested, in September 2025, 1 million dollars (approximately R$ 5.35 million) in new equipment for the Ninho do Urubu. The Keiser A300 Runner device is designed to simulate the acceleration phase of running.

When will Andrew debut for Flamengo?

Properly introduced, the 24-year-old goalkeeper might appear in the classic against Vasco this Wednesday (21). This is because the situation of Mengão in the Carioca is at the bottom of Group B, which is bad. Therefore, there are chances for main squad players to take the place of the under-20 team.
