B team star keeps shining, could earn fresh start at Rui Borges' Sporting | OneFootball

Flávio Gonçalves is increasingly drawing attention at Sporting. The winger is playing for the club's B team, where he has been the standout player in the green and white squad, under the guidance of João Gião. However, a combination of factors might lead him to secure a spot in the main team.

It's not just his performances that could earn the 18-year-old a place in Rui Borges' squad. According to information from the newspaper Record, the failure to sign Jota Silva and Kevin's move to Fulham could result in the forward taking the position of backup left winger in the main team.

The left side of Sporting's attack is seen as the area where Rui Borges' team is most vulnerable. This position was considered the main focus for the end of the transfer window, but failing to secure any reinforcements for this spot, the team only has Pedro Gonçalves to fill this role, without a natural backup.

Flávio Gonçalves has been shining not only in Sporting's B team. The young player was called up to represent the National Under-19 Team, where he scored twice in a 3-0 victory against Hungary. In this way, the young player continues the work he has been doing at the Club.

This season, playing for Sporting's B team, Flávio Gonçalves has already participated in four matches, all in the Liga Portugal 2. In his 109 minutes of play, the 18-year-old left winger has already scored two goals, contributing to the good campaign the young lions are having in the second division of the Portuguese championship.
