Dorival watches as under-20 star hails confident Corinthians in Paulista | OneFootball

One of the highlights of the Corinthians under-20 team, forward Léo Agostinho sees the team motivated for the final stretch of the Paulista Championship in the category.

He, who trained with the main squad and was closely observed by coach Dorival Júnior in recent weeks, was on the field in the 3-1 victory of the Filhos do Terrão over XV de Piracicaba last Friday at Fazendinha, a result that qualified Timão for the next phase of the State Championship.

Léo, who has been accumulating titles from an early age, emphasizes the importance of preparation and continuity in work. “The victory against XV was fundamental for us to continue in the championship. We are focused and confident that we can go even further,” stated the young player.

The 20-year-old player already has some titles from the club's youth categories. In 2021, he lifted the Paulistão sub-17 trophy. The following year, he won the Paulista Cup. In 2024, Léo was part of the Copinha champion squad.

The boy's good performance was rewarded. He has not yet been listed for matches with the main team but has participated in some training sessions with the squad at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava. Dorival, it is worth remembering, is observing young players from the base who can be picked for the senior team.

Furthermore, in February, Léo Agostinho renewed his contract with Corinthians. The contract now extends until December 2026.

“It is a great happiness to have my work recognized. I feel recognized at times when I am called to train with the main team, for example. These are very important moments that help in my development. The renewal is an extra motivation to continue giving my best for Corinthians,” he celebrated.
