What did Andrew say about his development since arriving at Flamengo?

The goalkeeper position has been revolutionized in the 21st century. As a result, playing with the feet is one of the new demands of the role. Flamengo’s No. 42, Andrew revealed how he has been working to improve in that area.

— In today’s football landscape, it is important for a goalkeeper to have good game reading and good passing. On medium and long passes, I have always had a good success rate. Since my arrival at Flamengo, the goalkeeping coaches identified room for adjustment and improvement in targeted passing -, he said, before concluding:

— Passing is the result of good work done collectively. It is worth highlighting Thiago Eller’s and Fabinho’s vision in identifying this and helping me in this development -, Andrew concluded in an interview with ‘Lance!’.

Flamengo offered 1.5 million euros (approximately R$ 9.4 million) + 10% of a future sale for the immediate release of Andrew. As a result, Gil Vicente (POR) accepted the offer and released the goalkeeper to sign a four-year contract with the Rubro-Negro.
