Ancelotti calls up Flamengo goalkeeper for Brazil's next matches | OneFootball

Which Flamengo goalkeeper will be part of the Brazilian National Team’s preparation during this FIFA international break?

Goalkeeper Léo Nannetti received good news this Tuesday (24). One of Flamengo’s standout players in the U-20 Libertadores, the Rubro-Negro player was called up by Carlo Ancelotti to join the Brazilian National Team squad during this FIFA international break.

Léo Nannetti will be part of the group training with the ‘Seleção’ ahead of friendlies against France and Croatia in the United States. As a result, the Ninho graduate will go through a kind of ‘internship’ under the supervision of Taffarel, the national team’s goalkeeping coach.

It is important to note that this is not the first time Léo Nannetti has been given the opportunity to train with the Brazilian National Team. In short, during the FIFA international break in September last year, Flamengo’s U-20 number 1 was available for Brazil’s training sessions at Granja Comary in Teresópolis, Rio de Janeiro.

HOW HAS LÉO NANNETTI’S SEASON BEEN AT FLAMENGO?

A multiple-time champion in Flamengo’s youth ranks, Léo Nannetti is one of the main leaders of the U-20 team. In the U-20 Libertadores, held in Quito, Ecuador, the goalkeeper played in every match for the Rubro-Negro and played a crucial role in the team’s qualification for the semifinal. However, in the final, Mengo ended up being defeated.

WHAT ARE BRAZIL’S NEXT MATCHES?

With Léo Nannetti taking part in training, Brazil has two friendlies ahead during this FIFA international break. In short, the first will take place on Thursday (26) against France at 5:00 PM (Brasília time) in Boston. Finally, the second match will be against Croatia on March 31 at 9:00 PM (Brasília time) in Orlando, Florida.
