Avaí announce Felipe Vizeu signing, ex-Flamengo striker | OneFootball

Flamengo academy product Felipe Vizeu is Avaí’s new signing

Felipe Vizeu is back in Brazilian football. After playing for Sporting Cristal in Peru, the striker developed by Flamengo was announced last Thursday (06) by Avaí, from Santa Catarina. The center forward is now 29 years old and signed a ten-month deal, valid until June 2027.

In fact, Felipe Vizeu is already registered in the Daily Information Bulletin (BID) of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) and could make his debut next Tuesday (11). Avaí will face CRB in Brazil’s Série B at Ressacada Stadium in Santa Catarina. The decision is in the hands of coach Allan Aal, who will be on the touchline from 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time).

Avaí will be the 11th club of Vizeu’s career. Besides Flamengo and Sporting Cristal (PER), the striker has also played for Udinese (Italy), Grêmio, Akhmat Grozny (Russia), Ceará, Criciúma, Yokohama (Japan), Sheriff (Moldova), and Atlético-GO.

SO HOW DID FELIPE VIZEU DO AT FLAMENGO?

In 2016, Felipe Vizeu drew attention during the São Paulo Junior Football Cup. In the Copinha, the striker was one of the standout players in Flamengo’s title-winning campaign. Later, the player was called up to Brazil’s under-20 national team and scored four goals in eight matches in the South American Championship.

For Flamengo’s senior team, Vizeu scored 20 goals and provided one assist in 65 matches. The striker formed a trio with Lucas Paquetá and Vini Jr, and all three players were sold to Europe at the same time. Felipe signed with Udinese, the midfielder joined Milan (ITA), and the winger moved to Real Madrid (ESP).

IN SHORT, WHAT IS THE AUTHOR’S OPINION OF FELIPE VIZEU?

— Unfortunately, Felipe Vizeu was unable to follow in the footsteps of his friends Vini Jr and Paquetá. He started very well, scoring a lot of goals in the team coached by Zé Ricardo. He also shone under Reinaldo Rueda in 2017, playing a decisive role in Flamengo’s Copa Sudamericana campaign, which ended with the team finishing as runner-up —, began Pedro Paulo Catonho, journalist for Coluna do Fla.

— However, after his move to Udinese, he was never able to reproduce that same brilliance. So much so that, statistically, 2017, still with Flamengo, remains the best year of his career, with nine goals scored. Hopefully he can find his way back to success — there is still time —, Pedro added.
