Dyogo Alves follows Júlio Cesar path before possible Flamengo exit

What did Dyogo Alves, Flamengo goalkeeper, say in an interview this Saturday (04)?

Dyogo Alves is one of the goalkeepers taking part in Flamengo’s mid-season training camp in Portugal. In an interview this Saturday (04), the shot-stopper made it clear that he is looking for an opportunity in the team and, for that, takes inspiration from Júlio Cesar, a player who came through Mengão’s academy and became a club idol.

“Júlio Cesar was a great goalkeeper here at Flamengo and has a beautiful story. So, I hope I can build a beautiful story here just like his,” said Dyogo Alves.

Júlio Cesar was a goalkeeper developed in the youth ranks who managed to make history at Flamengo. As soon as he moved up to the senior team, the former player stood out and won important titles wearing the Sacred Shirt. Beyond his history at Flamengo, the former player also became an idol at Inter Milan (ITA) and with the Brazilian National Team.

WHAT IS DYOGO ALVES’ SITUATION AT FLAMENGO?

At the moment, Dyogo Alves appears as Flamengo’s third-choice goalkeeper. When asked about his current situation at the club, the shot-stopper said he is still fighting for space in the senior team, but he also did not rule out a possible departure from Rubro-Negro.

“I talk with my agent, we map things out and look at the best option to make the best decision. Right now, we have to wait and see whether there will be an offer or not, and then we’ll decide what the best decision is. I hope to stay so I can get an opportunity here and show my football,” he stressed, before concluding: “this training camp is very important for all of us to gain confidence and show our potential. As for my contract situation, it’s in Flamengo’s hands. As long as I have a contract with them, I’m going to give it my all and honor this shirt, where I was also very happy in the youth ranks,” Dyogo Alves concluded.

It is important to point out that Dyogo Alves has already gone through every stage at Flamengo, from the youth ranks to the senior team. In this way, the player has collected several titles wearing the Sacred Shirt. Finally, it is worth noting that the goalkeeper has a contract with the club until December of this year.

WHAT WERE DYOGO ALVES’ OTHER STATEMENTS, FLAMENGO GOALKEEPER?

PARTNERSHIP WITH ROSSI AND ANDREW

“The banter (laughs). Both goalkeepers are good with their feet, both when defending and when building from the back. They also draw attention with their penalty saves. I keep watching Rossi and Andrew to try to do the same in the search to help Flamengo.”

USE OF YOUTH PLAYERS AT FLAMENGO

“For those of us coming from the youth academy, we have to work twice as hard. We know how difficult it is to make it at Flamengo, especially with the players in the squad. So we work for the coach to notice us and, with that, try to earn an opportunity in the team.”

WHAT IS DYOGO ALVES’ SITUATION IN FLAMENGO’S MID-SEASON TRAINING CAMP IN PORTUGAL?

Dyogo Alves is training alongside his teammates in the mid-season camp in Portugal. For the clash with Lausanne Sports (SUI), Flamengo’s next commitment, Leonardo Jardim made it clear that he will give opportunities to players who have not had many minutes. Thus, there is an expectation that the goalkeeper will start among the starters.
