By: Rodrigo Lima

Goalkeeper Leo Nannetti is experiencing a unique opportunity in his career. At just 18 years old, the Flamengo under-20 shot-stopper is part of the Brazilian National Team’s preparation training for the World Cup. With that in mind, Coluna do Fla brings details of this experience for the Ninho graduate with the ‘Seleção’.

Leo Nannetti has been with the Brazilian National Team since the start of the players’ preparation at Granja Comary, in Teresópolis. The Flamengo player joined the camp at the request of Taffarel, a legendary figure in the country’s history who is currently the goalkeeping coach of the ‘Canarinho’.

Since beginning his work with the Brazilian National Team, Taffarel has always liked working with four goalkeepers. With Ancelotti calling up only three for the position, the former goalkeeper brought in Leo Nannetti for training alongside Alisson, Ederson, and Weverton.

In addition to Taffarel, Leo Nannetti is also being highly rated by his Brazilian National Team teammates. Last Sunday (31), after the ‘Seleção’ beat Panama, Alisson was full of praise for the Flamengo academy graduate.

IS LEO NANNETTI TRAINING WITH THE BRAZILIAN NATIONAL TEAM IN THE UNITED STATES?

Just as happened in Teresópolis, Leo Nannetti is training full-time with the other three called-up goalkeepers. That way, in addition to making the most of the opportunity, the Flamengo player is gaining a lot of experience throughout this entire ‘exchange’ with the Brazilian National Team.

CAN LEO NANNETTI PLAY IN BRAZIL’S MATCHES?

Even though he is part of the Brazilian National Team squad, Leo Nannetti will not be able to play in any of the friendlies. That is because, since he is not on the official list of players called up for the ‘Seleção’, FIFA does not allow the player to be used.

WHAT IS BRAZIL’S NEXT MATCH?

With Leo Nannetti in training, Brazil is preparing for its next commitment of the season. This Saturday (06), the national team will face Egypt at 7:00 PM (Brasília time) in the United States. Therefore, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the clash on its website and social media. Finally, Globo (free-to-air) and SporTV (pay TV) will broadcast the match.
