Flamengo top producers of Brazil players in Ancelotti era | OneFootball

Four players developed in Flamengo's youth academy are representing Brazil in this FIFA Date

Flamengo stands out as the team that has produced the most players for the Brazilian National Team in the 'Ancelotti Era'. This is because, in the current list of the Italian coach, the Rubro-Negro is the team with the highest number of players developed in its youth academy.

Currently, Flamengo has four former players in the Brazilian National Team. They are: goalkeeper Hugo Souza, right-back Wesley, and midfielders Jean Lucas and Lucas Paquetá. In summary, the mentioned players were developed in Fla's youth academy.

It is worth noting that the number could be even higher. This is because Vini Jr was left out of the call-up as he is suspended from the South American Qualifiers. Currently at Real Madrid (ESP), the player was also developed for football by Flamengo.

What was the 'outcome' for the former Fla players in the match against Chile?

In short, Hugo Souza was on the bench. Meanwhile, Ancelotti did not include Jean Lucas for the match against Chile. Finally, Wesley was a starter for the full 90 minutes, and Lucas Paquetá came on in the second half, scoring Brazil's second goal.

Did Flamengo have any current players called up?

Yes! Carlo Ancelotti called up Samuel Lino for the September FIFA Date. However, the forward did not play in the match against Chile. Additionally, full-back Alex Sandro was on the Brazilian list. However, Fla's number 26 could not join the National Team as he is recovering from a muscle injury.

What is Brazil's next match?

Next Tuesday (09), Bolivia will host the Brazilian National Team in the city of El Alto, over 4,000 meters above sea level. With the players developed by Flamengo available, Brazil will take the field starting at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), with broadcast by Rede Globo on free-to-air TV.
