WHAT IS THE SITUATION OF LÉO NANNETTI, FLAMENGO GOALKEEPER, WITH THE BRAZIL NATIONAL TEAM?
Léo Nannetti arrives with a lot of confidence in this Brazil U-20 national team preparation window. That is because, during the World Cup period, Flamengo’s goalkeeper was part of the entire preparation of the ‘Seleção’.
Léo Nannetti’s presence with Brazil came at the request of Taffarel, the goalkeeping coach, who likes to work with four players in the position. In this way, the Flamengo goalkeeper was with the called-up squad from Granja Comary to the work carried out in the United States.
WHAT IS LÉO NANNETTI’S CURRENT SITUATION AT FLAMENGO?
After Brazil’s participation in the World Cup ended, Léo Nannetti was given a few days off before returning to Flamengo training. According to journalist Rodrigo Lima from Coluna do Fla, the goalkeeper is well regarded at the club, but still remains an option for the club’s U-20 team.
At the moment, Léo Nannetti appears as the fourth-choice goalkeeper for Flamengo’s senior squad. Thus, the youngster, only 18 years old, took part in the latest activities at CT Ninho do Urubu before reporting to the Brazil national team.
WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?
While Léo Nannetti is away with Brazil, Flamengo’s squad remains focused on the team’s upcoming commitments this season. This Sunday (09), Mengão hosts Vitória in the Brasileirão.
Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. As a result, Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will show the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on its website and social media. Finally, Premiere, via pay-per-view, will broadcast the clash.
