Fluminense travel to Corinthians to stay top of the Brasileirão U17

Fluminense face Corinthians this Wednesday (19) in the 12th round of the Brazilian Under-17 Championship. The match is scheduled for 5 p.m. at Estádio Alfredo Schürig, in the city of São Paulo. The Xerém boys lead the competition with 26 points and are looking to hold onto top spot and extend their five-game unbeaten run. The match will be broadcast live on Sportv.

“It’s going to be a very tough game because they’re two big teams fighting for the top of the table. We prepared a lot in training during the week, listening to the coach’s instructions, so we can make the right plays. We have to step onto the field fully focused and stay concentrated until the end so we can leave here with the win,” said Riquelmy, who arrived at Xerém at age 12, in 2021.

Top scorer in the campaign for the third title with five goals, Riquelmy has been the only Xerém boy to feature in every round so far. He starred in Tricolor’s last away win, on June 17 in Cotia (SP), when he set the tone for the 4-1 victory over São Paulo in the fourth round, handing the home side their only defeat.

“I’m very happy and I hope to keep helping the team in every match, with great dedication, by scoring goals. It’s about making the best decisions, understanding what the game demands and, when I get up front, finishing the move with the highest quality possible. If we keep working hard, I’m sure we’ll stay on top. Commitment is something we never lack,” assured the youngster from Itaocara (RJ), who has already been called up to the club’s Under-20 side and Brazil’s youth national team.
