Samuel Lino's fine form at Flamengo before Ancelotti's Brazil call-up

How has Samuel Lino been performing in Flamengo’s recent matches?

Samuel Lino has managed to shake off the distrust at the start of his time at Flamengo and is now on a ‘different path’ at the club. Putting together a string of strong performances in the Sacred Shirt, the forward’s name is once again being mentioned as a possible call-up for Carlo Ancelotti’s next Brazil squad.

With the World Cup cycle now over, Ancelotti will begin the new project with an eye on 2030. As a result, the first ‘Seleção’ squad list will be announced next Wednesday (09), at 3 pm (Brasília time), at the headquarters of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF).

WHAT DOES SAMUEL LINO THINK ABOUT A CALL-UP TO THE BRAZIL NATIONAL TEAM?

After Flamengo’s win over Mirassol, Samuel Lino spoke about the possibility of being part of the new Brazil national team cycle. In the forward’s view, a call-up will be a consequence of what he is able to do wearing the Sacred Shirt.

– Actually, I’m very calm. If it is God’s will for me to be there, I will be very grateful and happy. But I remain focused on Flamengo, and if the Brazil national team call comes, it will be a consequence of the work done here at the club -, said Samuel Lino.

It is important to point out that Samuel Lino has already experienced this expectation of playing for the ‘Seleção’. That is because, among the names considered for the last World Cup, Carlo Ancelotti included the Flamengo forward on the preliminary list.
