Flamengo Youth Product, Douglas Telles, Already Has Two Goals for the First Team

One of Flamengo’s gems, Douglas Telles was honored this week for scoring his first goal for the professional team in last year’s Brasileirão. The young player received a personalized Adidas boot with the phrase “my first goal.” In addition, he received a letter titled “you never forget your first goal.”

Douglas Telles ‘went for the celebration’ for the first time in his career on November 15, 2025, at Arena de Pernambuco, during the 5-1 thrashing of Sport. On that occasion, the youth product came on in the second half and scored the last goal of the match, which relegated the Recife team to Série B of the Brasileirão.

The 18-year-old forward would go on to score once more in the Brasileirão, in the last round, in a 3-3 draw with Mirassol. On that occasion, Flamengo fielded a team made up of many under-20 players. This was because the main squad was in Qatar for the Club World Cup.

MORE GOALS COMING FROM DOUGLAS TELLES?

Once again, a team made up of youngsters will represent Flamengo at the professional level. Since the main squad is still on vacation, a team led by coach Bruno Pivetti will play the first matches of the Campeonato Carioca. Thus, Douglas Telles is one of the red-and-black hopes at the start of the competition.

This Sunday (11), Douglas is expected to start for the team that faces Portuguesa, in a match brought forward from the fifth round of the Cariocão. The ball will roll from 6pm (Brasília time), at Estádio Raulino de Oliveira, in Volta Redonda.

If there’s Mengão on the field, then there’s full coverage from Coluna do Fla, on the website, social media, and YouTube. In addition, Globo (open TV, for most of Brazil) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will show the start of Flamengo’s journey towards the Carioca three-peat.
