Mirassol boss hails Flamengo’s under-20s ahead of final Brasileirão round | OneFootball

Rafael Guanaes stated that facing Flamengo's youth players will not be easy

Flamengo concludes the Brasileirão with the under-20 team in the match against Mirassol this Saturday (06). The coach of the São Paulo team stated that facing the red-black youth group is not easy at all, as they have defeated a European team.

— Make no mistake, it's a great game. Flamengo is the world champion [under-20] against Barcelona (ESP). They played a friendly recently against Bayer Leverkusen (GER) and won 5 to 1 -, said Rafael Guanaes before the match, which starts at 6:30 PM (Brasília time).

Why won't Flamengo use the professionals against Mirassol?

The red-black under-20 is used because Flamengo is already the champion of the Brasileirão and, therefore, the result of the 38th round does not change anything. Moreover, the main squad departed this Saturday (06) for Qatar, where they will play the Intercontinental.

Is the under-20 team a world champion?

As Guanaes highlighted, Flamengo is not only a champion but also a two-time world champion. The first title occurred in 2024 against Olympiacos (GRE), while the second happened this year against Barcelona. Both trophies were lifted at Maracanã.

Did Flamengo's under-20 team defeat a European team?

In the middle of this year, Flamengo's training center hosted the Leverkusen team, which was in preseason. A friendly match between the Germans and the host's under-20 team ended 5 to 1 for the Red-Black.
