Fluminense visit Flamengo in Brasileirão U20, full-back returns

After winning their first Brasileirão U-20 match in the previous round against Vitória, Fluminense visit Flamengo this Wednesday (22) at 3 p.m. The match is valid for the seventh round and is scheduled for Gávea Stadium. Tricolor sit in 15th place with six points, three fewer than Corinthians, the club that currently opens the G-8, the qualification zone for the quarterfinals.

For the match, coach Felipe Canavan will have Danylo Amaral back. The right-back had been on duty with the Brazil U-17 national team.

“Playing in a Fla-Flu is always important and special. It’s a huge derby in our state. The team has been working hard and dedicating itself in training to get a good result away from home and move up the table,” said 17-year-old right-back Danylo Amaral.

The Xerém youngster rejoined Tricolor this Tuesday (21/04), alongside Richard Wendel, after securing third place in the South American Championship with the Brazil U-17 national team. The bronze medal also qualified Brazil for the World Cup in Qatar, scheduled for November.

“It was an incredible experience with the national team, where I was able to fulfill another childhood dream. Unfortunately, we couldn’t achieve the main objective, which was the title, but it was a great opportunity for the whole team. We managed to finish the campaign in third place and also qualify for the World Cup. Now it’s about staying focused on the club and wearing the tricolor shirt again, which is so important and carries so much weight for all of us,” concluded Danylo, who arrived at Xerém at the age of 13, in 2022.
