— I had contact with Filipe Luís. Of course, the demands of the professional level are quite intense, I understand that. I am a professional category coach, I understand the demands in the professional category. We are in sync. But the one who ends up making this connection process is Alfredo Almeida (youth director). This is one of his roles within the club -, said Bruno Pivetti, in an interview with ‘Flamengo TV’.

CAN BRUNO PIVETTI REPEAT FILIPE LUÍS' FEAT?

Leading Flamengo's Under-20 team, coach Bruno Pivetti tries to repeat a feat of Filipe Luís in the youth categories. This is because, in 2024, the current coach of the professional team won the Junior World Cup title against Olympiacos (GRE) by 2-1, coming from behind.

It is worth remembering that Flamengo secured a spot in the Under-20 World Cup final after winning the Libertadores for the second time. In the final of the continental tournament, Mengão defeated Palmeiras on penalties, 4-3. Now, the "Crias do Ninho" will seek their second title in the global tournament, and to do so, they will have to triumph against Barcelona on August 23, at 4:30 PM (Brasília time).
