By: Rodrigo Lima

Right back Daniel Sales scored the winning goal in Flamengo’s victory over Athletico-PR this Tuesday (09), at Gávea. The Ninho graduate, it is worth noting, experienced a special moment in his personal life before becoming the ‘hero’ in Mengão’s win in the Under-20 Brasileirão.

At the beginning of June, Daniel Sales took advantage of a break in the schedule to marry Ana Gomes. After the ceremony, the fullback had little time to celebrate the moment, given his commitments with Flamengo.

That is because, days later, the Rubro-Negro squad returned to CT Ninho do Urubu to begin preparations for the match against Athletico-PR. In training, the squad worked under Marcelo Salazar, the new coach of Flamengo’s under-20 team .

HOW DID DANIEL SALLES PERFORM IN FLAMENGO’S UNDER-20 BRASILEIRÃO MATCH?

Flamengo took the field against Athletico-PR with the mission of getting a win to stay close to the teams at the top of the table. And the strategy worked. After a move that started down the left side, Daniel Salles entered the box and took his chance to score Mengão’s winning goal at Gávea.

WHAT IS DANIEL SALLES’ CURRENT SITUATION AT FLAMENGO?

Daniel Sales is one of the most experienced players in Flamengo’s current under-20 squad . That is because, in addition to the experience he has gained in the youth ranks, the fullback has already built up experience with the senior team.

Still under Filipe Luís, Daniel Sales got an opportunity in the derby against Vasco in the Carioca. On that occasion, the player played as a left back and performed the role well in the first half. Finally, under Leonardo Jardim, the player was included in the squad for the clash with Coritiba.

WHEN IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT UNDER-20 BRASILEIRÃO MATCH?

With Daniel Sales available, Flamengo return to the field next Wednesday (17) against Cuiabá in the Under-20 Brasileirão. In short, the ball starts rolling at 3 p.m. (Brasília time), at Gávea. As usual, Coluna do Fla will cover all the details of the match on the website and on social media.
