Leo Nannetti had a truly special experience. That’s because, even at just 18 years old, Flamengo’s under-20 goalkeeper was available to the Brazilian National Team at the World Cup. With that in mind, Coluna do Fla brings details of the keeper’s schedule after the end of the ‘Seleção’s’ run in the tournament.

Brazil’s last commitment came this Sunday (05), when Ancelotti’s men lost 2-1 to Norway in the round of 16 and were therefore eliminated from the World Cup. After that, the ‘Canarinho’ is already packing up to leave the United States.

According to Coluna do Fla’s reporting, Leo Nannetti will be one of the few players on the CBF charter flight leaving the United States and arriving in Rio de Janeiro this Tuesday (07). From the moment he arrives in Rio de Janeiro, the goalkeeper will once again be under Flamengo’s responsibility.

With that, Rubro-Negro has already set up logistics for Leo Nannetti. As soon as he returns to the ‘Marvelous City,’ Leo Nannetti will get a few days off. That means the goalkeeper is expected to rest for the entire week and not play in Flamengo’s under-20 match on Sunday (12), in the Otávio Pinto Guimarães Cup (OPG).

HOW WAS LEO NANNETTI’S PARTICIPATION IN THE WORLD CUP?

Goalkeeper Leo Nannetti was given a golden opportunity with the Brazilian National Team. Even though he was not on Ancelotti’s squad list, the Flamengo player was called up by Taffarel to take part in the Seleção’s training sessions.

Leo Nannetti’s call-up happened because Taffarel, Brazil’s goalkeeping coach, likes to work with four players in the position. As a result, Flamengo’s under-20 keeper took part in the entire process, which started at Granja Comary and continued through to the United States.

DID LEO NANNETTI PLAY IN ANY OF BRAZIL’S WORLD CUP MATCHES?

Because he was not on the official squad list, Leo Nannetti was not even included among the matchday selections for Brazil’s World Cup games. However, it is worth noting that the goalkeeper was present in person at every one of the national team’s matches during the tournament.

WHAT IS LEO NANNETTI’S CURRENT SITUATION AT FLAMENGO?

Over the last few seasons, Leo Nannetti has been one of the standout players on Flamengo’s under-20 team. He earned that reputation because of his strong performances in several title-winning campaigns. One of the most recent was the Club World Cup at youth level, when the goalkeeper saved penalties against Barcelona (ESP), sealing Mengão’s title at the Maracanã.

After returning from the World Cup, Leo Nannetti will also look to earn opportunities with the senior team. At the moment, the goalkeeper is under contract with Flamengo until the end of 2029, with a release clause of around 70 million euros (about R$ 412 million at the current exchange rate) for foreign clubs.
