Flamengo player gets ‘harsh’ prank in training, watch the video | OneFootball

Which Flamengo player got hazed?

Football tradition says that the birthday player has to go through a prank at training. So Andrew thought he would only have to go through the gauntlet, but the prank was old-school this Wednesday (01) in Portugal. The goalkeeper got hit with eggs and showered with flour, but he took it in good spirits.

Watch the video:

Images from Flamengo TV show that Wallace Yan and Samuel Lino also got caught up in the prank and ended up dirty as well. “I’m still a good sport, but payback is coming,” warned the 26-year-old birthday boy with a smile on his face.

Why is Flamengo’s squad in Portugal?

Andrew and his teammates are in Portugal because Flamengo will play three friendlies in the Algarve. That’s because Mengo wants to use the World Cup break in a way that helps the team keep its rhythm when competitions resume.

So the keeper is far from home on his birthday, but the territory is not unfamiliar to him. After all, the goalkeeper played for Gil Vicente (POR) for five seasons before arriving in Rio de Janeiro.

Who are Flamengo’s opponents?

07/03 – Flamengo vs River Plate (ARG) – 3:30 PM 07/08 – Flamengo vs Lausanne Sports (SUI) – 4:30 PM 07/11 – Flamengo vs Benfica (POR) – 3:30 PM *All times are Brasília time.

The matches are part of the Algarve Tournament, a traditional competition that had never featured a South American club before Mengo. The situation could also be a chance to test Andrew, who has played little so far this season.

What is the situation with Flamengo’s goalkeeping spot?

While Andrew has made only six appearances this year, Rossi is not a unanimous favorite among the fans. That is because the Argentine has made a few mistakes, but has taken the stance that he did not make any errors.

What is the author’s opinion?

“Giving Andrew chances would be a way to deal with Rossi’s poor form and also put the Argentine goalkeeper on alert. It’s not about erasing what Rossi did in previous seasons, especially in 2025, but not acknowledging the mistakes is very worrying,” said João Vítor Reis of Coluna do Fla.
