Flamengo lost 3-0 to Volta Redonda this Saturday (17), in the second round of the Campeonato Carioca. After the match, goalkeeper Léo Nannetti lamented the low performance of the Rubro-Negro at the start of the State Championship.
— Obviously, it wasn't an easy game for us, we had a setback 10 minutes into the game, but I think the team didn't give up at any moment. We ran the whole time, gave our all throughout — he said, before concluding:
— Bruno told us not to give up, to keep going, focus on the details, but unfortunately the victory didn't come. Now we have to lift our heads and see what's ahead during the year — concluded Léo Nannetti.
Yes! With an eye on potential interest from European clubs, Flamengo renewed the contract with Léo Nannetti and set a value in case of a contract 'break'. Thus, the young player is tied to Mengão until the end of 2029, with a release clause of 70 million euros (about R$ 445 million).
Léo Nannetti joined Flamengo to be part of the club's Under-9 team. Now 18 years old, the goalkeeper participates daily in training sessions with the professional team of Mengão, under coach Filipe Luís.
Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (21) to face Vasco, in the third round of the Carioca. Thus, the ‘Clássico dos Milhões’ takes place at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã. It is worth noting that there is a chance it will be the first match of the professional team of Mengão in 2026.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Vasco, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open channel), GE TV (YouTube), SporTV (cable channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Carioca classic.
