Ex-Flamengo man ‘orders’ Ancelotti to pick Fluminense star for 2026 WC | OneFootball

What did Conca say about Fábio, Fluminense’s goalkeeper?

Former attacking midfielder Conca was part of Argentina’s legends team against Brazil in ‘Showbol’ last Tuesday (24). After the world classic, the former player ‘urged’ Carlo Ancelotti to call up Fábio, goalkeeper for Fluminense.

“I love this country (Brazil), so speaking about the Brazilian National Team, I hope Fábio is one of Brazil’s goalkeepers, because he deserves it more than anyone”, Conca said in an interview with the ‘Ângelo Furtado’ channel at Rio Futsummit.

It is important to point out that before playing for Flamengo, Conca played for Vasco and Fluminense in Rio de Janeiro football. It was at the Laranjeiras club, in fact, that the former attacking midfielder became a club idol by winning the 2010 Brasileirão.

HOW WAS CONCA’S SPELL AT FLAMENGO?

Conca’s spell at Flamengo worked as a kind of fresh start for the former attacking midfielder in football. That is because the Argentine was recovering from a serious left knee injury while playing for Shanghai in China in 2016.

Amid that situation, Conca used the Ninho do Urubu training center to recover from the serious injury. During that period, Flamengo pursued the signing of the former attacking midfielder, securing a loan that lasted only one season. In total, the former player featured for just 27 minutes wearing the Sacred Mantle, and retired the following year.

DID FLAMENGO HAVE PLAYERS CALLED UP FOR THE BRAZIL NATIONAL TEAM’S NEXT MATCHES?

While Conca is asking for Fábio, two Flamengo players were called up by Ancelotti in the latest squad list before the final World Cup call-up: Léo Pereira and Danilo. The duo even has a chance to start in the ‘Seleção’s’ match against France. The clash takes place this Thursday (26), at 5 p.m. (Brasília time), in the United States.
