Andrew opens up on swapping Europe for Flamengo: “It puts me in a…” | OneFootball

Flamengo’s Goalkeeper Analyzed His Own Career During Presentation Press Conference

For the new Flamengo goalkeeper, leaving Europe to play for the Rubro-Negro is a step up. That’s because, at Mais Querido, Andrew Ventura sees the possibility of competing for titles. So, during his presentation press conference, the athlete showed his eagerness to play as soon as possible.

— It’s important to take this step because it shows the level of ability I have as an athlete. It puts me on the shelf of the highest level of football. Whether I play or not, those are decisions that are not up to me. As I said, I will be 100% willing and prepared to help Flamengo. That’s what I’ve done since I arrived here — highlighted Andrew.

Where was Andrew?

Flamengo brought Andrew from Gil Vicente, in Portugal. At the European club, the Brazilian helped the team achieve its highest-ever finish in the Portuguese League, fourth place.

On the other hand, the chances of winning titles with the Sacred Mantle are much closer. That’s because, on February 1st, Flamengo and Corinthians will face off in the Supercopa Rei, which is just one example of the competitions the Rubro-Negro could win.

When will Andrew debut for Flamengo?

Now officially presented, the 24-year-old goalkeeper could make an appearance in the derby against Vasco this Wednesday (21). That’s because Mengão’s situation in the Carioca is at the bottom of Group B, which is not good. Therefore, there’s a chance the main team will take the place of the under-20 squad.
